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
