[PATCH] base firmware: Fix BUG from sysfs attributes change incommit a2db6842873c8e5a70652f278d469128cb52db70

[Larry Finger]

Commit a2db6842873c8e5a70652f278d469128cb52db70 changed the way that
sysfs attributes are handled. With lockdep checking enabled, a firmware
loading request from b43 generates the following BUG:

BUG: key ffff8800b85f4870 not in .data!

(rest of dump snipped)

Fixed by initing the attribute.
