[PATCH v5 phy 04/15] phy: lynx-28g: avoid memsetting lane already allocated with kzalloc()

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Tue Nov 25 2025 - 06:50:44 EST


"priv" is allocated by lynx_28g_probe() using devm_kzalloc(), and the
lane is memory inside that structure (&priv->lane[id]). We don't have to
zero-initialize it, it is already filled with zeroes.
