If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann commit a2125d02443e9a4e68bcfd9f8004fa23239e8329 upstream. The latest gcc-7 snapshot adds a warning to point out that when atk_read_value_old or atk_read_value_new fails, we copy uninitialized data into sensor->cached_value: drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.c: In function 'atk_input_show': drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.c:651:26: error: 'value' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] Adding an error check avoids this. All versions of the driver are affected.
