Subject: Re: [PATCH] net/nfc/nci: use memset avoid infoleaks

hello sir

I think this way: On 64-bit systems, struct nci_set_config_param has 
an added padding of 7 bytes between struct members id and len. Even 
though all struct members are initialized, the 7-byte hole will 
contain data from the kernel stack. 

thanks
