[PATCH v2 13/21] arch: don't memset(0) memory returned by memblock_alloc()

From: Mike Rapoport <hidden>
Date: 2019-01-21 08:05:55
Also in: linux-alpha, linux-arm-kernel, linux-devicetree, linux-mips, linux-mm, linux-s390, linux-sh, linux-um, linux-usb, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: m68k architecture, microblaze architecture, sparc + ultrasparc (sparc/sparc64), the rest · Maintainers: Geert Uytterhoeven, Michal Simek, "David S. Miller", Andreas Larsson, Linus Torvalds

memblock_alloc() already clears the allocated memory, no point in doing it
twice.

Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> # m68k
