As mentioned in docs/devel/style.rst "Automatic memory deallocation":

* Variables declared with g_auto* MUST always be initialized,
  otherwise the cleanup function will use uninitialized stack memory

This avoids QEMU to coredump when running the "hash test" command
under Zephyr.

Alex,

FYI, with Thomas's fixes and this oneliner, make check-avocado ran fine
with avocado bumped to version 100.1.

Cheers,

We maybe need a checkpatch.pl rule to catch such bugs...
