Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/display: Fix uninitialized variable usage in
 core_link_ 'read_dpcd() & write_dpcd()' functions

The 'status' variable in 'core_link_read_dpcd()' &
'core_link_write_dpcd()' was uninitialized.

Thus, initializing 'status' variable to 'DC_ERROR_UNEXPECTED' by default.

Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/link/protocols/link_dpcd.c:226 core_link_read_dpcd() error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/link/protocols/link_dpcd.c:248 core_link_write_dpcd() error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.
