The variable id len being initialized with a value that is never read,
it is being re-assigned later on in a for-loop. The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.
Cleans up clang scan build warning:
drivers/spi/spi-dw-dma.c:580:17: warning: Although the value stored
to 'len' is used in the enclosing expression, the value is never
actually read from 'len' [deadcode.DeadStores]

Don't know for sure now what was my original intention of having it
pre-initialized in the for-loop init section. Possibly what you
suggest to drop was a leftover from some another version of the
function implementation where the re-initialization was required. On
the other hand rather weak but still a justification of having that
assignment can be a maintainability so all the basic loop variables
would be safely pre-initialized before the code block is executed. But
in that case a more correct value would have been "xfer->len" instead
of zero. Anyway let's keep the code simple and drop the assignment.
Thanks for the patch.

[1/1] spi: dw: remove redundant assignment to variable len
commit: 125b28b18926e050e770160a5897b81082304f8c
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
Thanks,
Mark
