Subject: [PATCH 7/8] drm/amd/powerplay: Change assignment for a buffer
 variable in phm_dispatch_table()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2016 15:36:36 +0200

The variable "temp_storage" was eventually reassigned with a pointer.
Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.
