Turning on DEBUG in smp-cps.c, or compiling the kernel with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled results the build error: arch/mips/kernel/smp-cps.c: In function 'play_dead': ./include/linux/dynamic_debug.h:126:3: error: 'core' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] Fix this by always initialising the variable.
