Setting table_sz to 0 still seems like a good idea from a defensive
programming perspective. Both table_ptr and table_sz should be set
and cleared together in all spots.

In addition to this, another fix would be to also update
both table_ptr and table_sz to 0 when loading firmware without
a resource table. Both should be done, no need to revert this.
