This function allows to initialize a mhi_controller structure.
Today, it only zeroing the structure.

Use this function from mhi_alloc_controller so that any further
initialization can be factorized in initalize function.

I know that this has been discussed in earlier revisions but I'm still not
convinced to have 2 APIs doing a similar job. Since we don't have any usecase
currently to initialize extra fields other than the struct, we should be using
the alloc_controller API.

If you want to have a devres managed allocation, then the API should be extended
as below:

struct mhi_controller *mhi_alloc_controller(struct device *dev)
{
	struct mhi_controller *mhi_cntrl;

	if (!dev)
		mhi_cntrl = kzalloc(sizeof(*mhi_cntrl), GFP_KERNEL);
	else
		mhi_cntrl = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*mhi_cntrl), GFP_KERNEL);

	return mhi_cntrl;		
}

In this case, the ath11k MHI controller also need to be adjusted but we can use
the same immutable branch way.

Thanks,
Mani
