Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8192e: remove redundant initialization of variable init_status

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The pointer init_status is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being updated later on. The initialization is redundant
and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
