Checkpatch emits WARNING: single byte memset is suspicious. Swapped 2nd/3rd argument? Call site in question is correct but is an unusual use of memset() to zero a single byte. The same can be achieved by assigning 0 directly to the memory location. Dereference pointer and assign 0 to that memory location. Use '\0' to make explicit that it is a char pointer.
