This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

media: usb: siano: Fix false-positive "uninitialized variable"

to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: media: usb: siano: Fix false-positive "uninitialized variable"
warning

GCC complains about an apparently uninitialized variable recently added to smsusb_init_device(). It's a false positive, but to silence the warning this patch adds a trivial initialization.
