Actually I had to revert.  Please look at the compiler output before
submitting changes:

drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_debug.c: In function ‘qed_grc_dump’:
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_debug.c:2425:6: warning: ‘addr’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  u32 byte_addr = DWORDS_TO_BYTES(addr), offset = 0, i;
      ^
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_debug.c:3534:7: note: ‘addr’ was declared here
   u32 addr, size = RSS_REG_RSS_RAM_DATA_SIZE;
       ^

'addr' is never, ever, assigned a value, yet it is passed into a function as an
argument.
