can: etas_es58x: es58x_fd_rx_event_msg(): initialize rx_event_msg before calling es58x_check_msg_len() Function es58x_fd_rx_event() invokes the es58x_check_msg_len() macro: | ret = es58x_check_msg_len(es58x_dev->dev, *rx_event_msg, msg_len); While doing so, it dereferences an uninitialized variable: *rx_event_msg. This is actually harmless because es58x_check_msg_len() only uses preprocessor macros (sizeof() and __stringify()) on *rx_event_msg. c.f. [1]. Nonetheless, this pattern is confusing so the lines are reordered to make sure that rx_event_msg is correctly initialized. This patch also fixes a false positive warning reported by cppcheck: | cppcheck possible warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>, may not be real problems) | | In file included from drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_fd.c: | >> drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_fd.c:174:8: warning: Uninitialized variable: rx_event_msg [uninitvar] | ret = es58x_check_msg_len(es58x_dev->dev, *rx_event_msg, msg_len); | ^ [1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.16/source/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.h#L467 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220306101302.708783-1-mailhol.vincent@wanadoo.frSigned-off-by: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol.vincent@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
