The steps argument is only read by the next function, so it can be passed directly as an argument rather than via opal_dev. Normally, the steps is an array on the stack, so the pointer stops being valid then the function that set opal_dev.steps returns. If opal_dev.steps was not set to NULL before return it would become a dangling pointer. When the steps are passed as argument this becomes easier to see and more difficult to misuse.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
