This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: usb: siano: Fix false-positive "uninitialized variable" to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 45457c01171fd1488a7000d1751c06ed8560ee38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 21 May 2019 11:38:07 -0400 Subject: media: usb: siano: Fix false-positive "uninitialized variable" warning GCC complains about an apparently uninitialized variable recently added to smsusb_init_device(). It's a false positive, but to silence the warning this patch adds a trivial initialization.
