[PATCH] staging: vt6655: fix potential memory conruption bug

From: Nam Cao
Date: Fri Sep 09 2022 - 01:31:17 EST


A line of code is attempting to set the entire struct vnt_rdes0 to
zero by treating it as unsigned int. However, this only works if
sizeof(unsigned int) is equal to sizeof(struct vnt_rdes0) (4 bytes),
which is not guaranteed. This may cause memory conruption if
sizeof(unsigned int) is 8 bytes for example. Fix the problem by using
memset instead.
