Subject: [PATCH net-XXX] net: dsa: qca8k: uninitialized variable in
 hw_control_get()

The caller, netdev_trig_activate(), passes an uninitialized value for
*rules.  This function sets bits to one but it doesn't zero out any
bits so there is a potential for uninitialized data to be used.
Zero out the *rules at the start of the function.
