Subject: [PATCH][V2][net-next] mlxsw: spectrum_router: remove redundant initialization of pointer br_dev 

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The pointer br_dev is being initialized with a value that is never read
and is being updated with a new value later on. The initialization
is redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>
