Compiler version?  I'm asking because bootpath looks quite defined on
all paths leading to the line you quoted:

    QTAILQ_FOREACH(i, &fw_boot_order, link) {
        char *devpath = NULL, *bootpath;
        size_t len;

        if (i->dev) {
            devpath = qdev_get_fw_dev_path(i->dev);
            assert(devpath);
        }

        if (i->suffix && devpath) {
            size_t bootpathlen = strlen(devpath) + strlen(i->suffix) + 1;

--->        bootpath = g_malloc(bootpathlen);
            snprintf(bootpath, bootpathlen, "%s%s", devpath, i->suffix);
            g_free(devpath);
        } else if (devpath) {
--->        bootpath = devpath;
        } else {
            assert(i->suffix);
--->        bootpath = g_strdup(i->suffix);
        }

        if (total) {
            list[total-1] = '\n';
        }
        len = strlen(bootpath) + 1;
