Subject: [PATCH 1/1] avr32/pata: avoid unnecessary memset (updated after comments)

From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

Hi, here is a patch against linux/drivers/ata/pata_at32.c which :
	
1) Remove an explicit memset(.., 0, ...) to a variable allocated with
kzalloc (i.e. 'info').


Note: this patch is based on 'linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2'
