[PATCH 1/5] drivers/media: drop redundant memset

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Tue Mar 09 2010 - 16:14:00 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

The region set by the call to memset is immediately overwritten by the
subsequent call to memcpy.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

// <smpl>

expression e1,e2,e3,e4;
@@

- memset(e1,e2,e3);
memcpy(e1,e4,e3);
// </smpl>
