The compiler is being silly - notice that it is saying "may" not "is". In this case, it will not be uninitialized prior to use.
What it's caused by is do_alignment_t32_to_handler(), and its assignment through a pointer of this variable. You can see that this is the cause because the patch below fixes the warning.
It's all about whether gcc can prove that the variable is or is not assigned. It has one warning for the 'provably not assigned' case, and another for the 'can't prove that it is always assigned' case.
Anyway, normally we don't fix warnings where the compiler is wrong (but we encourage the compiler guys to fix the compiler instead.)
