Ok, thanks.

FWIW, I have another patch for this driver that I did not yet submit
because it's not a regression and I haven't written a proper changelog
for it (it's in a set of 15 patches for netdev that fix harmless warnings).

Do you have one for the warning below as well? I could not come up
with a better way than adding a bogus initialization, but maybe
there is one.
