[PATCH v2] mctp: serial: replace memset with zero-initialization

From: Manish Baing <hidden>
Date: 2026-05-30 22:46:56
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: management component transport protocol (mctp), networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jeremy Kerr, Matt Johnston, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Use empty brace initialization (= {}) instead of explicit memset()
to zero-initialize stack memory to simplify the code.

No functional change.

Signed-off-by: Manish Baing <redacted>

Changes in v2:
- Fixed a compilation error caused by a duplicate variable declaration caught 
  by the kernel test robot.
