Also, please build your changes with W=1... It's the second try of
sending un-tested and not-working code. This time also with a compiler
warning. This looks very bad :(

For big companies with a lot of engineers, like nVidia, it is useful if
some internal review happens. It is a nice way to offload community
reviewers which are - like maintainers - a scarce resource. Doing
internal review is not a requirement, but helps to find such mistakes
earlier, before using the community. It is simply nice to us.
