Not bad.

When there are compiler warnings, cut and paste the compiler
warnings into the message here.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to change the line before
and declare binder_debug_no_lock as a bool.

The other option would be to use the uninitialized_var() macro.  On
fast paths we would probably insist on that, but for this probably
no one cares.

When you fix uninitialized variable warnings, please comment in the
changelog whether the variable can ever be used uninitialized in
real life.  (Is GCC correct?).

This should probably be split into two patches.  One for the type
change and one for the uninitialized variables.  We could probably
merge it as is, but definitely no one will complain if you split it
apart.

Use the ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl to find where to resend this
patch.  Every kernel patch has to be CC'd to a mailing list.  I
wouldn't CC lkml for this.  They don't care about trivial patches
to staging.  Just devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is fine.
