Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] platform/mellanox: mlxbf-tmfifo: Fix a warning message

This commit fixes the smatch static checker warning in
mlxbf_tmfifo_rxtx_word() which complains data not initialized at
line 634 when IS_VRING_DROP() is TRUE. This is not a real bug since
line 634 is for Tx while IS_VRING_DROP() is only set for Rx. So there
is no case that line 634 is executed when IS_VRING_DROP() is TRUE.

This commit initializes the local data variable to avoid unnecessary
confusion to those static analyzing tools.
