firmware: Always initialize the fw_priv list object

andersson · gregkh · commit 7012040576c6 · 2018-09-30T08:49:55.000-07:00
When freeing the fw_priv the item is taken off the list. This causes an oops in the FW_OPT_NOCACHE case as the list object is not initialized. Make sure to initialize the list object regardless of this flag.
