[PATCH] [media] dvb_frontend: ensure that front end status is initialized

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Jul 20 2017 - 11:29:36 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The fe_status variable s is not initialized meaning it can have any
random garbage status. This could be problematic if fe->ops.tune is
false as s is not updated by the call to fe->ops.tune() and a
subsequent check on the change status will using a garbage value.
Fix this by initializing s to zero.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#112887 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
