BTW, which flags did you pass to generate this error? I can only
reproduce this with EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wmaybe-uninitialized -Werror", but
for some reason EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wall -Werror" is silent. Any idea why? I
would like to add this to my git hooks and avoid these errors in the
future :)
Linus disabled the warning for v4.8. I've just talked to him today about this
warning in particular, and hope that we can find a way to enable it by
default again in the future, as a lot of possible bugs get introduced,
but certain compiler versions also produce a lot of false positives.
