Inside function hideep_nvm_unlock(), variable "unmask_code" could
be uninitialized if hideep_pgm_r_reg() returns error, however, it
is used in the later if statement after an "and" operation, which
is potentially unsafe.

Hi Yizhuo,

I do not think that simply initializing the variable makes the code
behave any better. If we want to fix this properly we need to check for
errors returned by hideep_pgm_r_reg() and hideep_pgm_w_reg() and exit
this function early, signalling the caller about errors.
