Where? Have I written Nacked-by somewhere?

What obfuscation are you talking about? Having the initialization of
variables along with their declaration is not it.

Now let's look what you're doing:

just to reassign 1 to some of them

a couple of lines below.

Now this is misleading.

Now let's look at what I'm proposing

	unsigned tot_dimms = 1;
	unsigned tot_csrows = 1;
	unsigned tot_channels = 1;

How is this an obfuscation? It is basic code layout practices.
