Oh. sorry its my mistake. I will update

p is pointing to the stack memory. so, if we do memset after consumption, then
it will not guarantee that next time we will get the clean memory.
Here i am clearing
this memory only when the controller reports error and before
consumption by the edac
core to ensure that there is no garbage data.
here is the call stack
int synps_edac_geterror_info(void __iomem *base,
struct synps_ecc_status *p)
{
...
regval = readl(base + STAT_OFST);
if (!regval)
return 1;
memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
...
}
static void synps_edac_check(struct mem_ctl_info *mci) {
struct synps_ecc_status stat;
...
status = synps_edac_geterror_info(priv->baseaddr, &stat);
...
synps_edac_handle_error(mci, &stat);
...
}

Ok.
