Fix Smatch-detected issue:
drivers/input/touchscreen/ili210x.c:621 ili251x_firmware_to_buffer()
error: uninitialized symbol 'fw_addr'.
drivers/input/touchscreen/ili210x.c:621 ili251x_firmware_to_buffer()
error: uninitialized symbol 'fw_len'.
Initialize 'fw_addr' and 'fw_len' to 0 in ili251x_firmware_to_buffer()
to avoid uninitialized use warnings reported by smatch.
Although the while loop ensures both variables are always assigned before
use, initializing them silences false positives.

No, we will not be adding gratuitous initializations just to appease
smatch.
That said, "do {} while (rec);" loop might work better here and also
might allow smatch to recognize that both variables are not used
uninitialized. I would accept such a patch.
Thanks.
