[PATCH 1/4] video: fbdev: pxafb: clear allocated memory for video modes

From: Daniel Mack <daniel@zonque.org>
Date: 2018-06-24 15:38:14
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

When parsing the video modes from DT properties, make sure to zero out
memory before using it. This is important because not all fields in the mode
struct are explicitly initialized, even though they are used later on.
