In olden times the snd_hda_param_read() function always set "*start_id"
but in 2007 we introduced a new return and it causes uninitialized data
bugs in a couple of the callers: print_codec_info() and
hdmi_parse_codec().

Fixes: e8a7f136f5ed ('[ALSA] hda-intel - Improve HD-audio codec probing robustness')

This is from static analysis.  Untested.
