While this might not occur in practice, if the device is doing
the right thing, it would be teoretically be possible to have
both hsync_counter and vsync_counter negatives.

If this ever happen, ctrl will be undefined, but the driver
will still call:

	aspeed_video_update(video, VE_CTRL, 0, ctrl);

Change the code to prevent this to happen.

This was warned by cppcheck:

	[drivers/media/platform/aspeed-video.c:653]: (error) Uninitialized variable: ctrl

Thanks Mauro.
