p54: Initialize extra_len in p54_tx_80211 This patch fixes a very serious off-by-one bug in the driver, which could leave the device in an unresponsive state. The problem was that the extra_len variable [used to reserve extra scratch buffer space for the firmware] was left uninitialized. Because p54_assign_address later needs the value to reserve additional space, the resulting frame could be to big for the small device's memory window and everything would immediately come to a grinding halt.
