[PATCH 5.4 036/119] platform/x86: wmi: remove unnecessary initializations

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Barnabás Pőcze <pobrn@protonmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 43aacf838ef7384d985ef5385ecb0124f8c70007 ]

Some pointers are initialized when they are defined,
but they are almost immediately reassigned in the
following lines. Remove these superfluous assignments.
