Such variable is initialized before being used, on every execution path throughout the function. The static has no benefit and, removing it reduces the object file size. This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch: https://github.com/GustavoARSilva/coccinelle/blob/master/static/static_unused.cocci In the following log you can see a significant difference in the object file size. This log is the output of the size command, before and after the code change: before: text data bss dec hex filename 14842 6464 128 21434 53ba drivers/crypto/img-hash.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 14789 6376 64 21229 52ed drivers/crypto/img-hash.o Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
