Subject: serial: of-serial: fix uninitialized kmalloc variable
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e12e675c17982a8b3cc91314a68f4c4d1bceb92;p=linux-beck.git

serial: of-serial: fix uninitialized kmalloc variable

The info pointer points to an uninitialized kmalloced space.
If a device doesn't have clk property, then info->clk may
have unpredicated value and cause call trace. So use kzalloc
to make sure it is NULL initialized.
