From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The pointer hdr is being initialized and also re-assigned with the same value from the call to function mctp_hdr. Static analysis reports that the initializated value is unused. The second assignment is duplicated and can be removed. Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value").
