Several variables are being assigned with values that are never
read and being updated later with a new value. The initializations
are redundant and can be removed.

Why leave this assignment in? Looks like this was all copy-pasta, but
this assignment makes even less sense now that you remove the comment
and load.

The one just above my comment: 

	ch->ch_cached_lsr = 0;

that cached value is being used in jsm_neo.c, so removing the zero'ing
may cause some issues.

That's for you to determine, right? Only doing half of a clean may
actually be worse than doing nothing at all. At least now it's somewhat
clear why that statement is there.

The jsm_neo.c implements support for a different class of devices and
only those actually use ch_cached_lsr AFAICT.

It would be good if you include some context in the commit message such
as which commit added this code and that it has never been used.
