Subject: [PATCH] gianfar: fix compile warning

From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@...retlab.ca>

Eliminate an uninitialized variable warning.  The code is correct, but
a pointer to the automatic variable 'addr' is passed to dma_alloc_coherent.
Since addr has never been initialized, and the compiler doesn't know
what dma_alloc_coherent will do with it, it complains.

Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@...retlab.ca>

Jeff, this one should go in for 2.6.24

Cheers,
g.
