What is wrong with something like:

ERROR: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
#35: FILE: serial.c:32:
+static struct serial_device *serial_devices = NULL;

ERROR: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
#36: FILE: serial.c:33:
+static struct serial_device *serial_current = NULL;

Since it's a bootloader, should we also ignore it with:

--ignore INITIALISED_STATIC

Or maybe not?

Thanks,
