As Peter points out, if we were to disconnect and then reconnect this driver from a device, the "global" state of the device would contain odd values and could cause problems. Fix this up by just initializing the whole thing to 0 at probe() time. Ideally this would be a per-device variable, but given the age and the total lack of users of it, that would require a lot of s/./->/g changes for really no good reason.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
