Hi,

Static analysis with Coverity Scan on linux-next has found an issue with
the following commit:

commit 20cac6d02815edcc0b1c87bc3e8858b3d1fda3fa
Author: Stephen Boyd <sb...@kernel.org>
Date:   Wed Jul 31 12:35:09 2019 -0700

    clk: actions: Don't reference clk_init_data after registration

The analysis is as follows:

7        int i, ret;

  1. var_decl: Declaring variable hw without initializer.

68        struct clk_hw *hw;
69

  2. Condition i < hw_clks->num, taking true branch.

70        for (i = 0; i < hw_clks->num; i++) {

  CID 85252 (#1 of 1): Uninitialized pointer read (UNINIT)
  3. uninit_use:  Using uninitialized value hw.

71                const char *name = hw->init->name;
72
73                hw = hw_clks->hws[i];

hw is being dereferenced on line 71 however it is not assigned until
line 73.

Did you instead intent this to be:

                const char *name;

                hw = hw_clks->hws[i];
                name = hw->init->name;
