Subject: [PATCH 4.19 04/15] net: usb: ax88179_178a: initialize local variables before use

From: Phillip Potter <phil@...lpotter.co.uk>

commit bd78980be1a68d14524c51c4b4170782fada622b upstream.

Use memset to initialize local array in drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c, and
also set a local u16 and u32 variable to 0. Fixes a KMSAN found uninit-value bug
