It is not wrong, link is only uninitialized after this through igc_phy_has_link. Presumably, if we skip the majority of this function when get_link_status is false, we should skip calling igc_set_ltr_i225 as well. Just directly return 0 in this case, rather than bothering with adding another label or initializing link in the if statement.
