I think using sizeof(cvt_mode) is better here.  Then the reader doesn't
have to go and hunt down the definition of cvt_mode.  

Or even

--- a/drivers/video/modedb.c~a
+++ a/drivers/video/modedb.c
@@ -582,7 +582,7 @@ int fb_find_mode(struct fb_var_screeninf
 	}
 done:
 	if (cvt) {
-	    struct fb_videomode cvt_mode;
+	    struct fb_videomode cvt_mode = { };
 	    int ret;
 
 	    DPRINTK("CVT mode %dx%d@%dHz%s%s%s\n", xres, yres,
_

however gcc might generate sucky code for that.
