[PATCH] can : TI_HECC : Unintialized variables

From: Abhilash K V
Date: Thu Mar 10 2011 - 11:21:41 EST


1. In ti_hecc_xmit(), "data" is not initialized, causing
undesirable effects like setting the RTR field for every
transmit.
2. In ti_hecc_probe(), the spinlock priv->mbx_lock is not
inited, causing a spinlock lockup BUG.
