Subject: [PATCH net v2] qed: Fix uninitialized data in aRFS infrastructure

Current memset is using incorrect type of variable, causing the
upper-half of the strucutre to be left uninitialized and causing:

  ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_init_fw_funcs.c: In function 'qed_set_rfs_mode_disable':
  ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_init_fw_funcs.c:993:3: error: '*((void *)&ramline+4)' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]

Fixes: d51e4af5c209 ("qed: aRFS infrastructure support")
Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Hi Arnd,

I don't see the original warning you've reported [probably due to
compiler differences], so other than via code reading I couldn't
actually test this. Can you please compile-test this one?

As mentioned in the original thread, I'll send the style-change
later to net-next.

Dave - please consider applying this to `net'.

Thanks,
Yuval
