[PATCH 5.3 018/180] staging: gigaset: fix illegal free on probe errors

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit 84f60ca7b326ed8c08582417493982fe2573a9ad upstream.

The driver failed to initialise its receive-buffer pointer, something
which could lead to an illegal free on late probe errors.

Fix this by making sure to clear all driver data at allocation.
