5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 336c218dd7f0588ed8a7345f367975a00a4f003f ]

GCC 12.3.0 compiler on linux-next next-20240709 tree found the execution
path in which, due to lazy evaluation, devlength isn't initialised with the
parsed string:

   289		while (map) {
   290			devname = devstart = devlength = NULL;
   291
   292			if (!(devname = strsep(&map, ","))) {
   293				E("slram: No devicename specified.\n");
   294				break;
   295			}
   296			T("slram: devname = %s\n", devname);
   297			if ((!map) || (!(devstart = strsep(&map, ",")))) {
   298				E("slram: No devicestart specified.\n");
   299			}
   300			T("slram: devstart = %s\n", devstart);
 → 301			if ((!map) || (!(devlength = strsep(&map, ",")))) {
   302				E("slram: No devicelength / -end specified.\n");
   303			}
 → 304			T("slram: devlength = %s\n", devlength);
   305			if (parse_cmdline(devname, devstart, devlength) != 0) {
   306				return(-EINVAL);
   307			}

Parsing should be finished after map == NULL, so a break is best inserted after
each E("slram: ... \n") error message.
