gcc points out a memory area that is copied to a device
but not initialized:

sound/soc/codecs/cros_ec_codec.c: In function 'i2s_rx_event':
arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:83:20: error: '*((void *)&p+4)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
   83 |   *((int *)to + 1) = *((int *)from + 1);

Initialize all the unused fields to zero.

In the case in i2s_rx_event(), only the "cmd" member is used.  But it
is fine to please the compiler.

struct __ec_align4 ec_param_ec_codec_i2s_rx {
        uint8_t cmd; /* enum ec_codec_i2s_rx_subcmd */
        uint8_t reserved[3];

        union {
            ...
        };
};

I am a bit curious about, in other use cases of
ec_param_ec_codec_i2s_rx, why the compiler doesn't complain about
uninitialization of the "reserved" member?

I wouldn't do it just to please the compiler. I sent this patch since
the code clearly copies the uninitialized data here. If only
one byte is meant to be copied, then we should change the
function call to not pass the entire structure. I'll send a new
patch for that.

The -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning is fundamentally unreliable.
In this case, the __constant_memcpy() function accesses the
members one at a time, and the warning is for the first 'int' array
member that is completely uninitialized, while the 'reserved'
part of the structure is still in the first 'int' that is partially initialized.
