commit 8f8abb863fa5a4cc18955c6a0e17af0ded3e4a76 upstream.
syzbot has found an uninit-value bug triggered by the dm9601 driver [1].
This error happens because the variable res is not updated if the call
to dm_read_shared_word returns an error. In this particular case -EPROTO
was returned and res stayed uninitialized.
This can be avoided by checking the return value of dm_read_shared_word
and propagating the error if the read operation failed.
