if the above goto happens, timeout_fifo is used but not initialized
at label end:

I suppose the rest of the patch is OK since it works for you.

I don't know any of this code. It would be nice to know what some
of those pm2_RD(par, SOME_REG) mean so that I could sort of
understand what it is doing, but don't go spending time on it
just for me. It's not worth doing that IMO.
