From 5a45035b091dfee14137846f0850cc4fbdad2e86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tanya Agarwal Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 19:42:04 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] lib: 842: Improve error handling in sw842_compress() [ Upstream commit af324dc0e2b558678aec42260cce38be16cc77ca ] The static code analysis tool "Coverity Scan" pointed the following implementation details out for further development considerations: CID 1309755: Unused value In sw842_compress: A value assigned to a variable is never used. (CWE-563) returned_value: Assigning value from add_repeat_template(p, repeat_count) to ret here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used. Conclusion: Add error handling for the return value from an add_repeat_template() call.
