[PATCH v2 00/11] getting back -Wmaybe-uninitialized

Hi Linus,

It took a while for some patches to make it into mainline through
maintainer trees, but the 28-patch series is now reduced to 10, with
one tiny patch added at the end.  I hope this can still make it into
v4.9. Aside from patches that are no longer required, I did these changes
compared to version 1:

- Dropped "iio: maxim_thermocouple: detect invalid storage size in
  read()", which is currently in linux-next as commit 32cb7d27e65d.
  This is the only remaining warning I see for a couple of corner
  cases (kbuild bot reports it on blackfin, kernelci bot and
  arm-soc bot both report it on arm64)

- Dropped "brcmfmac: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning in
  brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap", which is currently in net/master
  merge pending.

- Dropped two x86 patches, "x86: math-emu: possible uninitialized
  variable use" and "x86: mark target address as output in 'insb' asm"
  as they do not seem to trigger for a default build, and I got
  no feedback on them. Both of these are ancient issues and seem
  harmless, I will send them again to the x86 maintainers once
  the rest is merged.
  
- Dropped "rbd: false-postive gcc-4.9 -Wmaybe-uninitialized" based on
  feedback from Ilya Dryomov, who already has a different fix queued up
  for v4.10. The kbuild bot reports this as a warning for xtensa.
 
- Replaced "crypto: aesni: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning" with a
  simpler patch, this one always triggers but my first solution would not
  be safe for linux-4.9 any more at this point. I'll follow up with
  the larger patch as a cleanup for 4.10.
  
- Replaced "dib0700: fix nec repeat handling" with a better one,
  contributed by Sean Young.

Please merge these directly if you are happy with the result.

As the minimum, I'd hope to see the first patch get in soon,
but the individual bugfixes are hopefully now all appropriate
as well. If you see any regressions with the final patch, just
leave that one out and let me know what problems remain.
