m2m_hw_period is initialized only when chan_config->m2m_hw is true. This
triggers a warning:
‘m2m_hw_period’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Although m2m_hw_period is only used when chan_config->m2m_hw is true and
ignored otherwise, initialize it unconditionally to 0.

ccr is initialized by stm32_mdma_set_xfer_param() when the sg list is not
empty. This triggers a warning:
‘ccr’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Indeed, it could be used uninitialized if the sg list is empty. Initialize
it to 0.
