drivers/greybus/operation.c:365:31: style: Variable 'header' is not assigned a value. [unassignedVariable]
 struct gb_operation_msg_hdr *header;
                              ^
header is only used to calculate the size of the messge.  This can be done without a variable
but rather with calling sizeof() with the struct type.

Fixes: dc779229b538 ("greybus: introduce gb_operation_message_init()")

That's not a real problem.

This is not a bug that is being fixed.

The compiler does not use any extra room for header, so this should be
fine, it's not a real issue.

cppcheck almost never finds anything real, be careful...
