From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> As Peter points out, if we were to disconnect and then reconnect this driver from a device, the "global" state of the device would contain odd values and could cause problems. Fix this up by just initializing the whole thing to 0 at probe() time. Ideally this would be a per-device variable, but given the age and the total lack of users of it, that would require a lot of s/./->/g changes for really no good reason.
