The problem is that it's a hit all case and that's usually seen as bad
coding style.
In other words when one branch by accident forgets to set the fw_size we
wouldn't get a warning any more and just use zero.
Please rather add setting the fw_size to zero to the default branch and
maybe even add a warning when that happens.

Christian.

Clear warning that uses uninitialized value fw_size.
In which case is the fw_size uninitialized and why setting it to zero helps in
that case?
It's a warning that reported by the Coverity scan. When the switch case " switch (ucode_id)
" got to default and Condition "adev->firmware.load_type == AMDGPU_FW_LOAD_PSP",
taking true branch,
it reports " uses uninitialized value fw_size " by this line.
"adev->firmware.fw_size += ALIGN(fw_size, PAGE_SIZE);“
It may not happen if we call this function correctly, but it just clears the
warning and looks harmless.

Christian.
