When the driver is used with a subdevice that is disabled in the
kernel configuration, clang gets a little confused about the
control flow and fails to notice that n_subdevs is only
uninitialized when subdevs is NULL, and we check for that,
leading to a false-positive warning:

drivers/mfd/arizona-core.c:1423:19: error: variable 'n_subdevs' is uninitialized when used here
      [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
                              subdevs, n_subdevs, NULL, 0, NULL);
                                       ^~~~~~~~~
drivers/mfd/arizona-core.c:999:15: note: initialize the variable 'n_subdevs' to silence this warning
        int n_subdevs, ret, i;
                     ^
                      = 0

Ideally, we would rearrange the code to avoid all those early
initializations and have an explicit exit in each disabled case,
but it's much easier to chicken out and add one more initialization
here to shut up the warning.

Took me a bit to follow the flow of this function. I agree that without
restructuring it, zero initializing this variable to shut up the warning
is the path of least resistance (clang must evaluate variables in
isolation like I did until I fully read the commit message *facepalm*).
