The tg3_set_eeprom() function correctly initializes the 'start' variable, but gcc generates a false warning: drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c: In function 'tg3_set_eeprom': drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c:12057:4: warning: 'start' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] I have not come up with a way to restructure the code in a way that avoids the warning without making it less readable, so this adds an initialization for the declaration to shut up that warning.
