Subject: [PATCH v2] crypto: ccp: initialize error

clang static analysis reports this problem
drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c:1347:3: warning: 3rd function call
argument is an uninitialized value [core.CallAndMessage]
dev_err(sev->dev, "SEV: failed to INIT error %#x, rc %d\n",
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

__sev_platform_init_locked() can return without setting the
error parameter, causing the dev_err() to report a garbage
value.

Fixes: 200664d5237f ("crypto: ccp: Add Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) command support")

The subject is pretty generic and confusing. A better subject would be:

crypto: ccp: Fix use of uninitialized variable

or something along that line.

Thanks,
