    ide-cd: fix kernel crash on hppa regression · a1f9a89c

    With 2.6.30-rc2 I face a kernel crash on the 32bit hppa architecture 
    due to ide-cd when udev creates the device nodes at startup:
    
    Kernel Fault: Code=26 regs=8ed34c40 (Addr=00000024)

    This crash seems to happen due to an uninitialized variable "rc".
    The compiler even warns about that:
      CC      drivers/ide/ide-cd.o                                                         
    /mnt/sda4/home/cvs/parisc/git-kernel/linus-linux-2.6/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c: In function `cdrom_newpc_intr':
    /mnt/sda4/home/cvs/parisc/git-kernel/linus-linux-2.6/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:612: warning: `rc' might be used uninitialized in this function
    
    After applying the trivial patch below, which just initializes 
    the variable to zero, the kernel doesn't crash any longer:
    
    Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd.
    Synthesizing the initial hotplug events...
    hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
    hda: command error: error=0x54 <3>{ AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
    ide: failed opcode was: unknown
    done.
