Subject: [U-Boot] Failure in ubifsmount

Hi,
it seems I have found an unitialized variable when I run ubifsmount on
an ARM board.
The problem arises during the sget() function when the "type" of
filesystem is added to the superblock list, at the following line:
list_add(&s->s_instances, &type->fs_supers);
I have checked that fs_supers has both pointers prev and next set to
zero. The pointer type is only a reference to the static structure
ubifs_fs_type, inside the same file, and the fs_supers is not
initialized at all.
Initializing the list with INIT_LIST_HEAD seems solving the problem,
after that ubifsmount works and I can load files with ubifsload.
However, I am not sure if this is enough (else I had sent a patch...).
Regards,
Stefano
