This is a simple patch that initializes a function with NULL to avoid some compiler warnings. In such cases should I proceed as a normal patch or it is better to send to another ML like to one for trivial patches?
Thanks,

I think you need to get an updated version of the compiler as this patch should not be needed at all. It doesn't cause a warning here for me without it. thanks, greg k-h
