If, in drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_fw.c::as102_fw_upload(), the call cmd_buf = kzalloc(MAX_FW_PKT_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL); should fail and return NULL so that we jump to the 'error:' label, then we'll end up calling 'release_firmware(firmware);' with 'firmware' still uninitialized - not good. The easy fix is to just initialize 'firmware' to NULL when we declare it, since release_firmware() deals gracefully with being passed NULL pointers.
