[PATCH 4.9 073/172] net: ethtool: Initialize buffer when querying device channel settings

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 31a86d137219373c3222ca5f4f912e9a4d8065bb ]

Ethtool channels respond struct was uninitialized when querying device
channel boundaries settings. As a result, unreported fields by the driver
hold garbage.  This may cause sending unsupported params to driver.

Fixes: 8bf368620486 ('ethtool: ensure channel counts are within bounds ...')
