Subject: [ 20/48] drm/edid: dont return stack garbage from supports_rb

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

commit b196a4980ff7bb54db478e2a408dc8b12be15304 upstream.

We need to initialize this to false, because the is_rb callback only
ever sets it to true.

Noticed while reading through the code.
