Currently variable data0 is not being initialized so a garbage value is being passed to vxge_hw_vpath_fw_api and this value is being written to the rts_access_steer_data0 register. There are other occurrances where data0 is being initialized to zero (e.g. in function vxge_hw_upgrade_read_version) so I think it makes sense to ensure data0 is initialized likewise to 0.

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.
