looks like a false positive since ath11k_spectral_pull_summary() always
sets the entire meta struct:
	memcpy(&report->meta, meta, sizeof(*meta));

as previously discussed this one I'll begrudgingly take.
please submit as a stand-alone patch

note that this also seems to be fixing a false positive.

the "maybe uninitialized" reference is:

out_qmi_cal:
	if (!ab->qmi.target.eeprom_caldata)
		release_firmware(fw_entry);

fw_entry is currently assigned:
	if (ab->qmi.target.eeprom_caldata) {
		...
	} else {
		snprintf(filename, sizeof(filename), "cal-%s-%s.bin",
			 ath11k_bus_str(ab->hif.bus), dev_name(dev));
		fw_entry = ath11k_core_firmware_request(ab, filename);
	}

So unless I'm missing something it is always the case that fw_entry will
be initialized when ab->qmi.target.eeprom_caldata is not set.

so NAK on changes which "fix" false positives.
