There is a warning when run "make menuconfig".

scripts/kconfig/menu.c:551:19: note: âjumpâ was declared here

It is because the compiler think "jump" is not initialized, though in fact
it is already initialized.

Hello Zhen-Hua,

the patch looks incomplete to me. A check
jump != NULL
should be added before accessing parts of structure jump_key.
