[PATCH] firmware: Always initialize the fw_priv list object

From: Bjorn Andersson
Date: Wed Sep 19 2018 - 21:14:12 EST


When freeing the fw_priv the item is taken off the list. This causes an
oops in the FW_OPT_NOCACHE case as the list object is not initialized.

Make sure to initialize the list object regardless of this flag.
