Hi Bean,

The Linux kernel coding style guide does not allow to explicitly 
initialize static variables to zero. The C standard requires that static 
variables that are not initialized explicitly are initialized to zero. 
 From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.bss: "In C, statically allocated 
objects without an explicit initializer are initialized to zero (for 
arithmetic types) or a null pointer (for pointer types)."

Thanks,

Bart.
