From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 13:44:06 +0100 The variable "pl" was declared and immediately assigned a return value from a function call in a separate statement. * Let us express the desired variable initialisation directly. * Avoid the repetition of the data type specification for the involved memory allocation according to the Linux coding style convention.
