[PATCH 2/5] staging: rtl8723bs: replace kmalloc + memset with kzalloc

From: Erick Karanja
Date: Mon Mar 31 2025 - 11:50:46 EST


Replace a call to kmalloc followed by memset with a single call to
kzalloc, which both allocates memory and zeroes it in one step.

This change improves readability and reduces redundant code.
