Subject: net/core: __hw_addr_create_ex does not initialize sync_cnt
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9747ba6636be8a7e8ba83a1fb231d061ca318e4f;p=linux-beck.git

net/core: __hw_addr_create_ex does not initialize sync_cnt

The sync_cnt field is not being initialized, which can result
in arbitrary values in the field.  Fixed by initializing it to zero.
