Subject[PATCH 3/3] auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: Silence 2 uninitialized warnings
The warnings are:

drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.c: warning: 'err' may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

At lines 109 and 207. Reported by Geert using the build service
several times, e.g.:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/19/303

They are two false positives, since num_chars > 0 in the three present
configurations (boston, malta, sead3). Initializing to an error state by
default silences the warning and makes the code print an error in case a
num_chars == 0 happens in the future (unlikely, since it does not make
sense currently).

The warnings seem to disappear starting with gcc >= 4.9
