I think this is the wrong place to initialize it, I would
suggest doing it inside of rpmb_read_counter() when returning
an error, to make it clear that this is not the intended
counter but something that is not actually meant to be used.

If you initialize local variables to bogus values, you remove
the possibility for the compiler to warn a function actually uses
something without initialization.

Totally right, thank you.
