Subject: [PATCH] Fix NULL pointer dereference on r8169 load

From: Petr Vandrovec <petr@...drovec.name>

mmio_addr in r8169 needs to be initialized before use

Maybe that all tp-> initialization should be moved before rtl_init_mac_address call,
but this is enough to get rid of crash in rtl_rar_set due to mmio_addr being uninitialized.
