Such variable is initialized before being used, on every execution path throughout the function. The static has no benefit and, removing it reduces the object file size. This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch: https://github.com/GustavoARSilva/coccinelle/blob/master/static/static_unused.cocci In the following log you can see a difference in the object file size. This log is the output of the size command, before and after the code change: before: text data bss dec hex filename 26135 11944 128 38207 953f drivers/crypto/omap-sham.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 26084 11856 64 38004 9474 drivers/crypto/omap-sham.o Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
