I agree that a fix is needed, and that this patch matches the rest of the 
code, so

Acked-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart at ideasonboard.com>

However, shouldn't structures be memset to 0 unconditionally, especially 
considering the recent discussion regarding reserved fields that should be 
initialized to default values by userspace ? This can be fixed by a separate 
patch.
