Subject: [PATCH] mtd: rawnand: meson: initialize struct with zeroes

This structure must be zeroed, because it's field 'hw->core' is used as
'parent' in 'clk_core_fill_parent_index()', but it will be uninitialized.
This happens, because when this struct is not zeroed, pointer 'hw' is
"initialized" by garbage, which is valid pointer, but points to some
garbage. So 'hw' will be dereferenced, but 'core' contains some random
data which will be interpreted as pointer. The following backtrace is
result of dereference of such pointer:
