[PATCH] habanalabs: remove redundant memset

Sat Jan 7 18:48:27 UTC 2023


>From reviewing the code, the line
  memset(kdata, 0, usize);
is not needed because kdata is either zeroed by
  kdata = kzalloc(asize, GFP_KERNEL);
when allocated at runtime or by
  char stack_kdata[128] = {0};
at compile time.
