Yes, please. Send two patches.

Yes. I understood that.

Ugh... Sorry, I had not looked closely at usb_read8() and friends.
(This code is all so terrible). Ideally they would have some way to
return errors. Oh well. Anyway, I guess do like this:

status = r8712_usbctrl_vendorreq(intfpriv, request, wvalue, index,
&data, len, requesttype);
if (status < 0)
return 0;
return (u8)(le32_to_cpu(data) & 0x0ff);

But in r8712_usbctrl_vendorreq() you really need to make the other
changes I mentioned as well. If you want to do it as a separate patch
that's fine too.

if (status < 0)
return status;
if (status != len)
return -EREMOTEIO;

if (reqtype == 0x1)
memcpy();

return 0;

Hi Dan and Pavel,

Sorry for the late reply. A v2 patch series is prepared, in which the
uninit-value bug is fixed by adding error checking and initialization.
In that case, r8712_usbctrl_vendorreq() is not touched any more. So
WDYT to refactor r8712_usbctrl_vendorreq() in another patch with the
code Dan mentioned above and usb_control_msg_{recv,send} suggested by
Pavel? And for now, the patch series is just confined to fixing
uninit-values. The patches will each focus on one thing that is easy
to understand.

thanks,
- w
