gcc points out a memory area that is copied to a device
but not initialized:
sound/soc/codecs/cros_ec_codec.c: In function 'i2s_rx_event':
arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:83:20: error: '*((void *)&p+4)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
83 | *((int *)to + 1) = *((int *)from + 1);
Change the length of the command to only pass down the
part of the structure that has been initialized, as
Tzung-Bi Shih explains that only that member is meant to
be used.

I would prefer your v1.
Reasons:
1. The change is not just kernel related.
There is a EC (embedded controller) firmware to collaborate with the
code. The firmware doesn't know the kernel only copies the first byte
of the packet (at least for now). See
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/refs/heads/master/common/audio_codec_i2s_rx.c#120.
2. We don't copy partial packets in a EC host command.
IMHO, it is also not a big deal if copying a few unused bytes in the packet.

Ok, so if the EC does access the uninitialized data, then it is indeed
better to initialize it to zero as I first thought.
