Commit 7738a7ab9d12 ("misc: eeprom: eeprom_93cx6: Add quirk for extra
read clock cycle") added extra 'quirk' field to struct eeprom_93cx6,
which change how the data is read.

Some existing users of eeprom_93cx6, including ax88796 driver, allocate
the structure on the stack without initialization of all the fields.
As a result, the added quirk field has undefined value, what can
randomly cause reading wrong data from the EEPROM.

Fix by using designated initialization.
