Subject: [PATCH 4.4 006/114] can: gs_usb: gs_can_start_xmit(): zero-initialize hf->{flags,reserved}

From: Brian Silverman <brian.silverman@...erivertech.com>

commit 89d58aebe14a365c25ba6645414afdbf4e41cea4 upstream.

No information is deliberately sent in hf->flags in host -> device
communications, but the open-source candleLight firmware echoes it
back, which can result in the GS_CAN_FLAG_OVERFLOW flag being set and
generating spurious ERRORFRAMEs.

While there also initialize the reserved member with 0.

Fixes: d08e973a77d1 ("can: gs_usb: Added support for the GS_USB CAN devices")
