From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 1271a7b98e7989ba6bb978e14403fc84efe16e13 upstream. This is just to ensure that .usage_power is properly initialized and doesn't contain random stack data. The other members of struct pwm_state should get a value assigned in a successful call to .get_state(). So in the absence of bugs in driver implementations, this is only a safe-guard and no fix.
