Andrew, I'm not applying patches that use that sinful
uninitialized_var() thing.
I'll apply the following instead.
commit d41a95e04ae80b77ddc186d0d97e6b439684adb8
Author: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[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.
