[PATCH] net: phy: initialize ge and fe variables

[PATCH] net: phy: initialize ge and fe variables

[trix]

From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

Static analysis reports this issue
/motorcomm.c:83:2: warning: variable 'ge' is used uninitialized
  whenever switch default is taken [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        default: /* leave everything alone in other modes */
        ^~~~~~~
drivers/net/phy/motorcomm.c:87:85: note: uninitialized use
  occurs here
        ret = __phy_modify(phydev, YT8511_PAGE,
	  (YT8511_DELAY_RX | YT8511_DELAY_GE_TX_EN), ge);
                                                     ^~

__phy_modify() calls __mdiobus_modify_changed(.., mask, set)

	new = (ret & ~mask) | set;
	if (new == ret)
		return 0;

	ret = __mdiobus_write(bus, addr, regnum, new);

Since 'ge/set' is or-ed in, it is safe to initialize it to 0

I believe this was fixed by just-applied commit 0cc8bddb5b06 ("net: phy:
abort loading yt8511 driver in unsupported modes").
