Excuse me, my English is not quite well, I guess your meaning is:

they should all be set to '__init', although it is minor in real world.

Is it correct ?


For me, I recommend to let all *selftest* as the same: "all add '
__init' or none add '__init'" (if choose add, all report warnings).

Is it suitable to still send new related patch for it ? If so, could
you provide your suggesting choice (all add, or none add) ?


Thanks.
