Subject: [PATCH 3/3] parport: ax88796: Delete an unnecessary variable
 initialisation in parport_ax88796_probe()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

The local variable "pp" will eventually be set to an appropriate pointer
a bit later. Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.
