There is also:

../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:235:6: error: variable 'helper' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (!fbdev)
            ^~~~~~
../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:259:26: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        drm_fb_helper_unprepare(helper);
                                ^~~~~~
../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:235:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
        if (!fbdev)
        ^~~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:228:30: note: initialize the variable 'helper' to silence this warning
        struct drm_fb_helper *helper;
                                    ^
                                     = NULL
1 error generated.

Is the fix the same as the one you have linked above?

Cheers,
Nathan
