Silence the following:
net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function '__cfg80211_wdev_from_attrs.clone.119':
net/wireless/nl80211.c:57:6: warning: 'wdev_id' may be used uninitialized in this function

... by always initializing wdev_id to zero. I assume that wiphy_idx and
ifidx are set to -1 for similar reasons, so this change simply propagates
the same workaround.

In practice, this warning is false, since wdev_id is both set and used
under the condition if (have_wdev_id). However, at least my compiler
can't be coerced into realizing this; almost any code between the if
blocks that set and use the variable causes this warning.

I don't see this warning? What compiler are you using?

I'm using gcc-4.5.3 for ARM. I checked with gcc-4.6.3 and gcc-4.7.2 and
indeed I don't see the warning there.

Interesting. So should I keep it or remove it? I guess in this
particular instance it doesn't matter all that much. In other cases I'd
be more against changing it I guess.

It's your call. I guess since it's fixed going forward in gcc, you may
as well drop it though.
