Isn't this unnecessary since DEFINE_FLEX() logic "{ .obj.COUNTER = COUNT, }"
should result in everything else being zeroed?

And if that isn't sufficient, DEFINE_FLEX() itself says we should "Use
__struct_size(@NAME) to get compile-time size of it afterwards"

Note the current memset won't zero the flex array and hence if the actual
number of channels is less than 4 then kernel stack contents could be exposed
to firmware.
