[PATCH 30] drivers/ide/arm/icside.c: kmalloc + memset conversion to kzalloc

From: Mariusz Kozlowski
Date: Tue Jul 31 2007 - 13:58:32 EST


Is this a bug? In original verison memset cleared sizeof(state) bytes
instead of sizeof(*state). If it was intentional then this patch is invalid.
If not intentional -> valid :) Please review.
