[PATCH] pwm: meson: remove redundant assignment to variable fin_freq

[PATCH] pwm: meson: remove redundant assignment to variable fin_freq

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The variable fin_freq is being initialized with a value that is never
read and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization
is redundant and can be removed.

This was introduced in 211ed630753d ("pwm: Add support for Meson PWM
Controller"), adding Neil To Cc:.

I don't think this was added to cope for a compiler not being able to
see the variable is used initialized only.
