The s5m8767_pmic_probe() function calls s5m8767_get_register() to read data without checking the return code, which produces a compile-time warning when that data is accessed: drivers/regulator/s5m8767.c: In function 's5m8767_pmic_probe': drivers/regulator/s5m8767.c:924:7: error: 'enable_reg' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] drivers/regulator/s5m8767.c:944:30: error: 'enable_val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This changes the s5m8767_get_register() function to return a -EINVAL not just for an invalid register number but also for an invalid regulator number, as both would result in returning uninitialized data. The s5m8767_pmic_probe() function is then changed accordingly to fail on a read error, as all the other callers of s5m8767_get_register() already do. In practice this probably cannot happen, as we don't call s5m8767_get_register() with invalid arguments, but the gcc warning seems valid in principle, in terms writing safe error checking.
