From 7e12e675c17982a8b3cc91314a68f4c4d1bceb92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jingchang Lu Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:50:21 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
