[PATCH] net-i40e: Replace variable initialisations by assignments in i40e_vc_get_vf_resources_msg()

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2016 15:11:09 +0100

Replace explicit initialisations for four local variables at the beginning
by assignments that will only be performed if the corresponding code
will really be executed.

Hello,

I have taken another look at the implementation of the
function "i40e_vc_get_vf_resources_msg". I find the use of the variable "i"
strange there. It seems that the value from the increment operation in an
if branch is not reused so far.

I would appreciate a further clarification.
Can this variable be eventually deleted?

Regards,
Markus

Replace explicit initialisations for four local variables at the beginning
by assignments that will only be performed if the corresponding code
will really be executed.

This seems to me to be unnecessary fussing with the code.

Dropping this patch based on feedback from Shannon.

Thanks for pointing this out.  We've got an internal patch coming that will address this.

Cheers,
