Set it to zero before the core calls g_fmt. This avoids all > the drivers (most of which don't use the field) from having to set the > value themselves. There is still one driver (sn9c102) that's (ab)using it. Although perhaps I should take a look at it and fix it. Note that priv only needs to be cleared for try/s_fmt. g_fmt does clear it already in the core before handing it over to the driver. That said, I am undecided whether to put this in the core. We might actually start to use this field for something useful in the future. By having drivers clear it explicitly it will be easier to do that.
