My apologies for not replying sooner and any misunderstanding from my
previous comments.
If the compiler is going to produce a warning because the variable is
not initialized, then we will need to keep the initialization.
Otherwise, this will show up as a build regression. Ideally, there
would be a modifier which could be used to tell the compiler the
variable will used. I do not know if such a modifier exists.
The patch can not produce a new warning. So, if you need to initialize
the variable then do it. My Reviewed-by still applies.
