Subject: [PATCH 3/3] can: janz-ican3: fix uninitialized variable warnings

From: "Ira W. Snyder" <iws@...o.caltech.edu>

Analysis of the code shows that the struct ican3_msg variable cannot be
used uninitialized. Error conditions are checked and the loop terminates
before calling the ican3_handle_message() function with an uninitialized
value.
