There's no need to assign any value here; the switch below always
assigns something over the top of the variable, so it doesn't need to be
pre-initialized.

Why not make the version variable an integer of some kind. Then, the
cast wouldn't be required. The values like TPS658621A can be #defines or
const u32.

That should switch on tps6586x->version since that's been assigned;
it'll make the purpose a bit clearer.

I hope the rest of the code deals with unknown values of
tps6586x->version OK.
