There was a consensus to use memset instead of {0}. I remember making
changes related to that previously.
Hm, seems like it's used rather consistently in the DM and in DC
though.
Have you decided which one should be used?
Should I submit a v2 patch using {0} instead of memset?
The problem is that {0} doesn't initialize padding fields in structures.
So what can happen are problems like leaking bytes to userspace or
getting unstable hash keys etc...
So I think memset() is usually preferred and that not only counts for Linux.

Since `pr_config` is not initialized after its declaration, the
following operations with `replay_enable_option` may be performed
when `replay_enable_option` is holding junk values which could
possibly lead to undefined behaviour
```

pr_config.replay_enable_option |= pr_enable_option_static_screen;
...
if (!pr_config.replay_timing_sync_supported)
pr_config.replay_enable_option &= ~pr_enable_option_general_ui;
...
```
This patch initializes `pr_config` after its declaration to ensure that
it doesn't contain junk data, and prevent any undefined behaviour
