[PATCH v2 05/11] s390: pci: don't print uninitialized data for debugging

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2016-11-10 16:46:52
Also in: linux-kbuild, linux-media, linux-nfs, linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: s390 architecture, s390 pci subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Heiko Carstens, Vasily Gorbik, Alexander Gordeev, Niklas Schnelle, Gerd Bayer, Linus Torvalds

gcc correctly warns about an incorrect use of the 'pa' variable
in case we pass an empty scatterlist to __s390_dma_map_sg:

arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c: In function '__s390_dma_map_sg':
arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c:309:13: warning: 'pa' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This adds a bogus initialization to the function to sanitize
the debug output.  I would have preferred a solution without
the initialization, but I only got the report from the
kbuild bot after turning on the warning again, and didn't
manage to reproduce it myself.
