Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.17 128/149] can: etas_es58x: es58x_fd_rx_event_msg(): initialize rx_event_msg before calling es58x_check_msg_len()

[ Upstream commit 7a8cd7c0ee823a1cc893ab3feaa23e4b602bfb9a ]

Function es58x_fd_rx_event() invokes the es58x_check_msg_len() macro:

| 	ret = es58x_check_msg_len(es58x_dev->dev, *rx_event_msg, msg_len);

While doing so, it dereferences an uninitialized
variable: *rx_event_msg.

This is actually harmless because es58x_check_msg_len() only uses
preprocessor macros (sizeof() and __stringify()) on
*rx_event_msg. c.f. [1].

Nonetheless, this pattern is confusing so the lines are reordered to
make sure that rx_event_msg is correctly initialized.

This patch also fixes a false positive warning reported by cppcheck:

| cppcheck possible warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>, may not be real problems)

|     ret = es58x_check_msg_len(es58x_dev->dev, *rx_event_msg, msg_len);
|           ^
