Don't know for sure now what was my original intention of having it
pre-initialized in the for-loop init section. Possibly what you
suggest to drop was a leftover from some another version of the
function implementation where the re-initialization was required. On
the other hand rather weak but still a justification of having that
assignment can be a maintainability so all the basic loop variables
would be safely pre-initialized before the code block is executed. But
in that case a more correct value would have been "xfer->len" instead
of zero. Anyway let's keep the code simple and drop the assignment.
Thanks for the patch.
