The first usage of that is

  sil_scr_read(&ap->link, SCR_ERROR, &serror);

which sets the value.  So, I don't think the patch is necessary.  If
it triggers a compile warning, putting uninitialized_var() macro will
be more appropriate.

Thanks.

If sil_scr_read() is error, 'serror' is not initialized.
After that, the wrong bits add to 'ap->link.eh_info.serror' when
'serror & SERR_PHYRDT_CHG' is true.

On the controller, sil_scr_read(SCR_ERROR) can never fail.  If it ever
fails, the whole thing will break anyway.

Thanks.

OK, I got it.
