[PATCH] somedriver: remove the initialization of static pointers.

[PATCH] somedriver: remove the initialization of static pointers.

[AbdAllah-MEZITI]

In C a static pointer will be initialized to NULL (e.g: draft C99 standard $6.7.8):
"If an object that has static storage duration is not initialized
explicitly, then:
 __ if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer;"

Your subject is very odd :(

And is that the correct spelling of your name that you use for legal
documents?  If not, please fix up when you resend this.

Also, fix the line-wrapping of your changelog, and the C99 standard is
not a "draft" anymore, it was released in 1999 :)

thanks,

AbdAllah, 

Patches submitted as part of the Eudyptula Challenge are fixing real problems
and most of the time accepted for queueing.  As such the work you sumbit for it
is serious and should be as perfect as possible.

Happy times with the Challenge,
Mathieu
