checkpatch: improve the unnecessary initialisers tests
Global and static variables don't need to be initialized to 0. There is already a test for this but the output message doesn't mention booleans initialized to false. Improve the output message and the test by adding various forms with possible specific integer types and possible multiple zeros. Miscellanea: o Use a variable to hold the possible 0 test Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Shailendra Verma <shailendra.v@samsung.com> Tested-by: Shailendra Verma <shailendra.v@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
