actually gcc warns here rightfully, but the fix is actually a different
one:

@@ -783,7 +783,7 @@ static void hci_host_control(uint16_t ocf, int plen, uint8_t
                break;
 
        default:
-               command_status(ogf, ocf, status);
+               command_status(ogf, ocf, 0x01);
                break;
        }

Pushed that one upstream.

I am always suspicious if the fix to a compiler warning like this is
just to initialize the variable. We prefer not to do that since then it
starts hiding real bugs. This is a good example.
