[Discussion] Uninitialized variable in wiz_mode_select()

Hi,

`mode` remains uninitialized when `lane_phy_type` isn't PHY_TYPE_DP
or 
PHY_TYPE_QSGMII. I've checked the dtsi (k3-j721e-common-proc-
board.dts) 
and possible values of `lane_phy_type` are justPHY_TYPE_USB3 and 
PHY_TYPE_PCIE. If this is correct, the mode will remain uninitialized with
garbage value. `mode` should be initialized to what? It seems like it is highly 
implementation dependent.

/drivers/phy/ti/phy-j721e-wiz.c: 344 in wiz_mode_select()
338             for (i = 0; i < num_lanes; i++) {
339                     if (wiz->lane_phy_type[i] == PHY_TYPE_DP)
340                             mode = LANE_MODE_GEN1;
341                     else if (wiz->lane_phy_type[i] == PHY_TYPE_QSGMII)
342                             mode = LANE_MODE_GEN2;
343     
>>>     CID 1503592:  Uninitialized variables  (UNINIT)
>>>     Using uninitialized value "mode" when calling "regmap_field_write".
344                     ret = regmap_field_write(wiz->p_standard_mode[i], mode);
345                     if (ret)
346                             return ret;
347             }
348     
349             return 0;

Thanks,
Usama
