'sgl' is zeroed a few lines below in 'sg_init_table()'. There is no need to
clear it twice.

Remove the redundant initialization.

I didn't look very thoroughly, but there are at least
a few more of these with kcalloc and kzalloc like

block/bsg-lib.c-        size_t sz = (sizeof(struct scatterlist) * req->nr_phys_segments);
block/bsg-lib.c-
block/bsg-lib.c-        BUG_ON(!req->nr_phys_segments);
block/bsg-lib.c-
block/bsg-lib.c-        buf->sg_list = kzalloc(sz, GFP_KERNEL);
block/bsg-lib.c-        if (!buf->sg_list)
block/bsg-lib.c-                return -ENOMEM;
block/bsg-lib.c:        sg_init_table(buf->sg_list, req->nr_phys_segments);
---
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-		sg = kcalloc(sg_per_table + chain_entry, sizeof(*sg),
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-				GFP_KERNEL);
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-		if (!sg)
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-			return -ENOMEM;

net/rds/rdma.c-			goto out;
net/rds/rdma.c-		}

Also in:
     sound/soc/sprd/sprd-pcm-dma.c
    sound/soc/sprd/sprd-pcm-compress.c
which are a bit tricky. It also uses some, IMHO, pointless devm_ functions.

Feel free to propose patches. I'm not focused on that at the moment.
