[PATCH 7.0 247/461] powerpc: 82xx: fix uninitialized pointers with free attribute

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

7.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ally Heev <allyheev@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit acd1e47db03d4b528fd5efb8565dd0de1c79f62a ]

Uninitialized pointers with `__free` attribute can cause undefined
behavior as the memory allocated to the pointer is freed automatically
when the pointer goes out of scope.

powerpc/km82xx doesn't have any bugs related to this as of now, but,
it is better to initialize and assign pointers with `__free` attribute
in one statement to ensure proper scope-based cleanup
