When the firmware interface layer was refactored it provided various
"get" and "set" functions. For the "get" in some cases a parameter
needed to be passed down to firmware as a key indicating what to
"get" turning the output parameter of the "get" function into an
input parameter as well. To accommodate this the "get" function blindly
copies the parameter which in some places resulted in an uninitialized
warnings from the compiler. These have been fixed by initializing the
input parameter in the past. Recently another batch of similar fixes
were submitted to address clang static checker warnings [1].
Proposing another solution by introducing a "query" variant which is used
when the (input) parameter is needed by firmware. The "get" variant will
only fill the (output) parameter with the result received from firmware
taking care of proper endianess conversion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
