Hi there! While having a look at the allocation of struct dvb_frontend in *_attach functions, I found some cases calling memset after kzalloc. This is redundant, and the attached patch removes these calls. I also changed one case calling kmalloc and memset to kzalloc. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@xxxxxxxxxx> Regards Matthias
