#1576099 — [PATCH v2] somedriver: remove the initialization of static pointers.

In C a static pointer will be initialized to NULL.
The §6.7.8 of the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E) document says that:
If an object that has static storage duration is not initialized
explicitly, then:
 __ if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer.

Signed-off-by: AbdAllah-MEZITI <abdallah.meziti.pro@gmail.com>

v2: -fix the line-wrapping of the changelog.
    -fix the ref. documentation: C99 standards release,
	and not the draft.
    -this patch is the Task 10 Eudyptula Challenge
	that only fix one code style problem.

The commit subject should be based on previous submissions, if you do a
git log --oneline drivers/staging/bcm2835-audio/bcm2835.c you will see
that the most frequent subject used was:

Staging: bcm2835-audio:

So you should utilize the same subject prefix, and make your prefix be
something like:

Staging: bcm2835-audio: Remove the initialization of static pointers
