[PATCH 07/17] tty: ehv_bytecha: use memcpy_and_pad() in local_ev_byte_channel_send()

From: "Jiri Slaby (SUSE)" <jirislaby@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-11-21 09:23:35
Also in: linux-serial, lkml
Subsystem: epapr hypervisor byte channel device driver, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Laurentiu Tudor, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

There is a helper for memcpy(buffer)+memset(the_rest). Use it for
simplicity.

And add a comment why we are doing the copy in the first place.
