[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

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.

Hi Bartlomiej,

Should I resend with Robert's Reviewed-bys again? I'd like to get this 
merged for 4.19 if possible.


Thanks,
Daniel

No need for resend, I added Robert's tags while applying your patches.
