Subject[PATCH] set dock_station->flags to zero during dock_add
Before fe06fba292af5ed5c1c6ad9af3a9ef68da7a5088 the dock_station struct
was allocated and zero filled by kzalloc. Now it is allocated by
platform_device_register_data(), apparently via a kmemdup of a variable
on the stack?

Now we no longer init dock_station->flags to zero, and my x60 laptop was
lucky enough to always have DOCK_DOCKING set. So, I always saw -EBUSY
when I tried to undock.

With the patch below, I can dock and undock properly again. I double
checked that dock_station->flags was the only field that we were not
setting up.

This was just brute force guessing, I have no idea what this code does.
