b43: Remove uninitialized_var() usage
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], just initialize this variable to NULL. No later NULL deref is possible due to the early returns outside of the (phy->rev >= 7 && phy->rev < 19) case, which explicitly tests for NULL.
