From: Thomas Huth <th...@redhat.com> 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.
