Static variables without initializer should be zero-initialized by 
loader. I believe RMI loader
does not zero .bss/.sbss segments so you should do it manually in 
platform_start
to ensure that all static variable are zeroed to prevent side-effects. 
Check platform_start from
ar71xx/ar71xx_machdep.c, for example.
