This commit fixes the smatch static checker warning in mlxbf_tmfifo_rxtx_word() which complains data not initialized at line 634 when IS_VRING_DROP() is TRUE. This is not a real bug since line 634 is for Tx while IS_VRING_DROP() is only set for Rx. So there is no case that line 634 is executed when IS_VRING_DROP() is TRUE. This commit initializes the local data variable to avoid unnecessary confusion to those static analyzing tools.
