Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ideapad: uninitialized data in ideapad_acpi_add()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

We only initialize the high bits of "cfg".  It probably doesn't cause
a problem given that this is platform specific code and doesn't have to
worry about endianness etc.  But it's sort of messy.
