If the compiler can't figure out if a variable is always intialized before 
its referenced, then it indicates the code is poorly written and isn't 
clear to the code reader either.  uninitialized_var() would be a lazy way 
to solve this particular issue.

I'm seeing that problem with a 4.8.2 toolchain on next-20140623 with
ARCH=arm, too.

Maybe better use uninitialized_var? And point out the commit that
introduced the issue please.

Best regards

BTW, why do we need strlen() there? what's wrong with r->len?
