Dear Gunnar,

Thank you very much for your patch.

Am 17.09.25 um 17:29 schrieb Gunnar Kudrjavets:
When len is 0, the while loop in tpm_tis_spi_transfer_half() never
executes, leaving ret uninitialized. This will lead to undefined
behavior when the function returns.

The issue was introduced when tpm_tis_spi_transfer() was refactored
to call tpm_tis_spi_transfer_half() or tpm_tis_spi_transfer_full().
While ret is properly initialized in tpm_tis_spi_transfer_full(), it
was missed in tpm_tis_spi_transfer_half().

Initialize ret to 0 at the beginning of the function to ensure
defined behavior in all code paths.

Found by GCC 14.2.0 static analyzer with -fanalyzer.
