Which circumstances do "not any sense at all" imply?

The code is not too complicated and I think it is very obvious which 
value/variable
should be passed instead of 0. I suggest to fix this since it is indeed a bug, 
instead of 
doing "micro optimizations" - which is the last thing that code in the staging 
area 
needs (as IIRC you have already been told by others, including the staging 
maintainer).
