[for-linus][PATCH 10/11] rv: remove redundant initialization of pointer ptr

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Jan 25 2023 - 11:20:35 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.i.king@xxxxxxxxx>

The pointer ptr is being initialized with a value that is never read,
it is being updated later on a call to strim. Remove the extraneous
initialization.
