(I can't understand this and "fine by me" below?) I did write "other than that"... I mean that the original commit fixed 2 issues, one with the uninitialized_var addition, and another with the missing void function declaration. I think I found the missing void function bit because the uninitialized_var use looked like a function so I fixed both things at the same time. If you change it, please just remove the bit that checks for uninitialized_var.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], effectively revert commit 16b7f3c89907 ("checkpatch: avoid warning about uninitialized_var()") and remove all remaining mentions of uninitialized_var().
