Subject: scsi: advansys: fix build warning for PCI=n

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

commit f46e7cd36b5f2ce2bfb567e278a10ca717f85b84 upstream.

The advansys probe function tries to handle both ISA and PCI cases, each hidden in an #ifdef when unused. This leads to a warning indicating that when PCI is disabled we could be using uninitialized data:

drivers/scsi/advansys.c: In function advansys_board_found :

drivers/scsi/advansys.c:11036:5: error:  ret  may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:10928:28: note:  ret  was declared here
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:11309:8: error:  share_irq  may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

drivers/scsi/advansys.c:10928:6: note: share_irq was declared here

This cannot happen in practice because the hardware in question only exists for PCI, but changing the code to just error out here is better for consistency and avoids the warning.
