These are used only for printing debug information, and the use of an
uninitialized variable only happens if an i2c transaction has failed,
which will print an error. Thus, fix the errors just by initializing the
variables to 0.

Fixes: 6363db1c9d45 ("media: i2c: add DS90UB953 driver")
Fixes: c158d0d4ff15 ("media: i2c: add DS90UB913 driver")

I would prefer two separate changes on per driver basis. This is a good
practice to make backporting easier (generally speaking).

Yes, I almost did that, but then somehow got hit by acute laziness... I'll send a v2 with split patches.
