I can't find any reason why it won't happen. In SERDES_TG3_SGMII_MODE, when current_link_up == true and current_duplex == DUPLEX_FULL, program execution will be transferred using the goto fiber_setup_done, where the uninitialized remote_adv variable is passed as the second parameter to the tg3_setup_flow_control function. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
