    mtd: nand: ecc-hamming: Clarify the logic around rp17 · 1771af5c
    Miquel Raynal authored
    This code has been written in 2008 and is fine, but in order to keep
    robots happy, I think it's time to change a little bit this code just
    to clarify the different possible values of eccsize_mult. Indeed, this
    variable may only take the value 1 or 2 because step_size, in the case
    of the software Hamming ECC engine may only be 256 or 512. Depending
    on the value of eccsize_mult, an extra rp17 variable is set, or not
    and triggers the following warning:
    
         smatch warnings:
         ecc_sw_hamming_calculate() error: uninitialized symbol 'rp17'.
    
    As highlighted by Dan Carpenter, if the only possible values for
    eccsize_mult are 1 and 2, then the code is fine, but "it's hard to
    tell just from looking".
    
    So instead of shifting step_size, let's use a ternary condition to
    assign to eccsize_mult the only two possible values and clarify the
    driver's logic.
    
    Now that the situation is clarified for humans, ensure rp17 is
    initialized to 0 to keep compilers and robots silent as well.
