Silence the following: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c: In function 'drm_calc_vbltimestamp_from_scanoutpos': drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c:583:24: warning: 'mono_time_offset.tv64' may be used uninitialized in this function
... by always initializing mono_time_offset to zero. In practice, this warning is false, since mono_time_offset is both set and used under the condition if (!drm_timestamp_monotonic). However, at least my compiler can't be coerced into realizing this; almost any code between the if blocks that set and use the variable causes this warning.
Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren swarren@nvidia.com --- I'm not sure what the current thinking is re: silencing warnings like this; IIRC some people may dislike this kind of change. Perhaps if this change alone is problematic, one could additionally remove the if condition on the use of mono_time_offset, thus always using the value? --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

FYI, I found that I see this warning with gcc-4.5.3, but not with gcc-4.7.2 or gcc-4.6.3. Hence, you might decide you don't care about this patch.
