3.16.83-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 84f60ca7b326ed8c08582417493982fe2573a9ad upstream.
The driver failed to initialise its receive-buffer pointer, something
which could lead to an illegal free on late probe errors.
Fix this by making sure to clear all driver data at allocation.
