Commit 7738a7ab9d12 ("misc: eeprom: eeprom_93cx6: Add quirk for extra
read clock cycle") added extra 'quirk' field to struct eeprom_93cx6.
Many existing users of eeprom_93cx6, including rtl818x drivers, allocate
the structure on the stack without initializing all fields. As a result,
the added quirk field has an undefined value and can randomly cause
reading wrong data from the EEPROM.
Fix by initializing the structures with {}.
Fixes: 7738a7ab9d12 ("misc: eeprom: eeprom_93cx6: Add quirk for extra read clock cycle")
