Uninitialized pointers with `__free` attribute can cause undefined
behavior as the memory allocated to the pointer is freed automatically
when the pointer goes out of scope.
powerpc/km82xx doesn't have any bugs related to this as of now, but,
it is better to initialize and assign pointers with `__free` attribute
in one statement to ensure proper scope-based cleanup
