Subject: [PATCH] Input: synaptics - avoid using uninitialized variable when
 probing

synaptics_detect() does not check whether sending commands to the
device succeeds and instead relies on getting unique data from the
device. Let's make sure we seed entire buffer with zeroes to make sure
we not use garbage on stack that just happen to be 0x47.
