This is a fine solution. However, having lived with this annoyance for a 
while, and even hoping that a
a later compiler fixes it, I would have preferred to either:

1) Initialize the local variable at declaration time, or

2) Use this patch, which the compiler could optimize as it sees fit, and 
maintains a clear distinction
for the code path for older devices:

I try to never do that in general, see https://rusty.ozlabs.org/?p=232

This seems fine.

I would probably skip the local variable as well then, and just open-code the
length, unless that adds ugly line-wraps.

I know. I just globally disagree with a global decision of this sort.
Now I make errors that are more complex, partially because I've shot myself
in the foot repeatedly, and learned from it.

Nonetheless...

I will ack your suggested patch. Thank you for addressing this. I've learned
something.
