Great. I'll update commit msg like this.

No. I just wanna show the URL link as a reference where this bug is
found. This URL discuss a little bit different topic as you know.

In the following discussion [1], Jakub pointed out that changing
continue statement to break is not related to the patch "Fix
uninit-value in nci_rw_work". So I posted this new small patch before
posting v5 patch for "Fix: uninit-value in nci_rw_work".

If Closes tag is not appropriate, I can remove this in this v2 patch.
What do you think?
