From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx> The save and ctl pointers need to be initialized to NULL because there is a way through the function in which there is no memory allocated for the pointers but where they are freed in the end. This involves the 'goto out_set_gif' before the memory for the pointers is allocated.
