If you were sending checkpatch.pl fixes that would be easier to deal with but you are sending hundreds of "controversial" cleanups. They are controversial in the sense that they don't fix anything against official kernel style and they go against the author's original intention. I tend to agree that useless initializers are bad and disable GCCs uninitialized variable warnings but just because I agree with you doesn't make it official kernel style. It's slightly rude to go against the author's intention. regards, dan carpenter
