There is no need to have the 'T *v' variable static
since new value always be assigned before use it.

Hi Mao,
the commit title should be something of the form
  net: dsa: qca: ar9331: drop pointless static qualifier
or
  net: dsa: ar9331: drop pointless static qualifier

If it begins only with
  net: dsa:
then it makes people think you are changing stuff in main dsa code.

What does 'T *v' mean?

The patch itself looks O.K, but the description should be better, and
the subject line.
