[PATCH v2] mtd: rawnand: meson: initialize struct with zeroes

[PATCH v2] mtd: rawnand: meson: initialize struct with zeroes

[Arseniy Krasnov]

This structure must be zeroed, because it's field 'hw->core' is used as
'parent' in 'clk_core_fill_parent_index()', but it will be uninitialized.
This happens, because when this struct is not zeroed, pointer 'hw' is
"initialized" by garbage, which is valid pointer, but points to some
garbage. So 'hw' will be dereferenced, but 'core' contains some random
data which will be interpreted as pointer. The following backtrace is
result of dereference of such pointer:

[    1.081319]  __clk_register+0x414/0x820

I think this should be written as "interpreted as a pointer". I'm not
a native English speaker though, so I'm hoping that someone else can
provide feedback as well.
