Subject: [PATCH 3.16 135/192] video: fbdev: aty: do not leak uninitialized
 padding in clk to userspace

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vladis Dronov <vdronov@...hat.com>

commit 8e75f7a7a00461ef6d91797a60b606367f6e344d upstream.

'clk' is copied to a userland with padding byte(s) after 'vclk_post_div'
field unitialized, leaking data from the stack. Fix this ensuring all of
'clk' is initialized to zero.
