2364                 if ((tx_ring->flags & I40E_TXR_FLAGS_OUTER_UDP_CSUM) &&
2365                     (l4_tunnel == I40E_TXD_CTX_UDP_TUNNELING)        &&
2366                     (*cd_tunneling & I40E_TXD_CTX_QW0_EXT_IP_MASK)) {
2367                         oudph->check = ~csum_tcpudp_magic(oiph->saddr,
2368                                         oiph->daddr,
2369                                         (skb->len - skb_transport_offset(skb)),
2370                                         IPPROTO_UDP, 0);

if compiler reports that oudph and oiph can be unitialized here,
it's not enough just to set them to NULL.

Do we need probably to check that variables was initialized before access here?
i.e. add  oudph && oiph into condition?

Sorry, I should not have mentioned my patch when it wasn't meant as
a serious submission. The patch I sent did not have a proper changelog
on it so it failed to explain it.

The reason why my patch works correctly is that the check on "l4_tunnel
== I40E_TXD_CTX_UDP_TUNNELING" means we can only get here if the
two variables have been initialized, and gcc fails to see this.

Jeff mentioned that he already had a patch for this, so I did not follow
up with a real patch.
