net: ravb: Fix -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning

Browse source

Fix a -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning by initializing the variable to
NULL. The warning is bogus and should not happen, but fixing it allows
running the check on the driver to catch potential future problems.

  $ make CFLAGS_ravb_main.o=-Wmaybe-uninitialized
