If I configure my build with --enable-sanitizers, my GCC (v8.5.0)
complains:
.../softmmu/device_tree.c: In function ‘qemu_fdt_add_path’:
.../softmmu/device_tree.c:560:18: error: ‘retval’ may be used uninitialized
in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
int namelen, retval;
^~~~~~
It's a false warning since the while loop is always executed at least
once (p has to be non-NULL, otherwise the derefence in the if-statement
earlier will crash). Thus let's switch to a do-while loop here instead
to make the compiler happy in all cases.
