Yesterday, I played with llvmlinux and this patch is also required for
Linux v3.10.y.

Checking for "Peter Kümmel" shows no hits.

commit 2d560306096739e2251329ab5c16059311a151b0 upstream
"kconfig: Fix warning "‘jump’ may be used uninitialized""

The patch needs some adaptation to fit.

Unfortunately, I cannot add a "3.10" to the subject-line as it is
"UTF-8-truncated" (see attached file).

Shall I resend w/ all CCs and how can I fix the subject-line?
