 variable

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@...disk.com>

commit 11b642b84e8c43e8597de031678d15c08dd057bc upstream.

This patch avoids that Coverity reports the following:

    Using uninitialized value port_attr.state when calling printk
