Subject: [PATCH] mtd: zero out mtd_partion struct before using it
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 16:47:52 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447289272-131828-1-git-send-email-computersforpeace@gmail.com> (raw)
It's easier to guarantee we've cleared out all unused fields with
memset() than by manually initializing each field.
