    checkpatch: Remove awareness of uninitialized_var() macro · d8b44b58
    Kees Cook authored Jun 03, 2020
    Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
    (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
    (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
    either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.
    
    In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], partially revert
    commit 16b7f3c8 ("checkpatch: avoid warning about uninitialized_var()")
    and remove all remaining mentions of uninitialized_var().
