Randconfig testing revealed a very old bug, with gcc-8:
sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/sst_loader.c: In function 'sst_load_fw':
sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/sst_loader.c:357:5: error: 'fw' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
if (fw == NULL) {
^
sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/sst_loader.c:354:25: note: 'fw' was declared here
const struct firmware *fw;
We must check the return code of request_firmware() before we look at the
pointer result that may be uninitialized when the function fails.
