Dan reports static checker warning:
"The patch 9b6ee3cf95d3: "qed: sanitize PBL chains allocation" from Jul
23, 2020, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_chain.c:299 qed_chain_alloc_pbl()

This issue was introduced with commit c3a321b06a80 ("qed: simplify
initialization of the chains with an external PBL"), when
chain->pbl_sp.table_virt initialization was moved up to
qed_chain_init_params().
Fix it by initializing pbl_virt with an already filled chain struct field.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
