Hi,

please backport

> powerpc: Always initialize input array when calling epapr_hypercall()
> Several callers to epapr_hypercall() pass an uninitialized stack
> allocated array for the input arguments, presumably because they
> have no input arguments. However this can produce errors like
> this one
> 
>  arch/powerpc/include/asm/epapr_hcalls.h:470:42: error: 'in' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
>   unsigned long register r3 asm("r3") = in[0];
>                                         ~~^~~
