drivers/atm/firestream.c: In function 'fs_open':
drivers/atm/firestream.c:870: warning: 'tmc0' may be used uninitialized in this function

I have confirmed that this is a false positive.

Andrew, I'm not applying patches that use that sinful
uninitialized_var() thing.

I'll apply the following instead.

    [ATM] firestream: Fix uninitialized var warning.
    
    All code paths set tmc0 in some way, but GCC can't
    see that for some reason.  Explicitly initialize
    to zero.
