Use dma_zalloc_coherent for allocating zeroed
memory and remove unnecessary memset function.

The second and third "changed" lines here actually are identical.  What 
program would produce a diff file showing that they were changed?
I'm sorry, I can't understand the problem.
There is no problem.  I merely asked a question.

The patch was generated by cocci script specified above and then you
told me to change the whitespace scheme as it was before.
Yes, I know.  But did you change the cocci script to make it produce
this new patch, or did you make the patch by manually editing the old
version?  In other words, how was this patch generated?
I did that manually, no change in cocci script.

Thanks
