Subject: [PATCH 4.19 126/139] staging: mt7621-dma: fix potentially dereferencing uninitialized tx_desc

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

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

From: Sergio Paracuellos <sergio.paracuellos@...il.com>

commit 354e379684fcc70ab8d5450b4d57bd92b5294dfd upstream.

Function 'mtk_hsdma_start_transfer' uses 'tx_desc' pointer which can be
dereferenced before it is initializated. Initializate pointer before
avoiding the problem.
