Subject: checkpatch.pl and statics

Hello,

I ran checkpatch.pl on a piece of code I wrote and besides all the other
warnings/errors it complained about a static pointer being initialised
to NULL/0. I fixed it but I'm curious as to why this is not permitted ?

Please cc me as I'm not on the list.

/Andreas
