Subject: [EXT] [PATCH] mwifiex: remove unnecessary call to memset

External Email

----------------------------------------------------------------------
call to memset to assign 0 value immediately after allocating memory with
kzalloc is unnecesaary as kzalloc allocates the memory filled with 0 value.
Looks find to me, Thanks.

Regards,
Simon

Semantic patch used to resolve this issue:

@@
expression e,e2; constant c;
statement S;
@@

  e = kzalloc(e2, c);
  if(e == NULL) S
- memset(e, 0, e2);
