How does that change the API? It just makes sure that *src is
initialized in all cases. I found at least one case where a caller
continues with a potentially uninitialzed value.
This happens only when __imx7_get_boot_source() is called from board
code. Normally it's called via imx_boot_save_loc() which initializes
*src to BOOTSOURCE_UNKNOWN before calling into __imx7_get_boot_source().
