Subject: [PATCH RFC] nl80211: Fix init of cfg80211 channel definition
Date:   Sun, 29 Sep 2019 16:07:35 +0200
Message-Id: <1569766055-9392-1-git-send-email-wahrenst@gmx.net>

The commit 2a38075cd0be ("nl80211: Add support for EDMG channels")
introduced a member to the cfg80211 channel definition. Unfortunately
the channel definitions are allocated on the stack and are not always
initialized via memset. Now this results in a broken probe of brcmfmac
driver, because cfg80211_chandef_valid() accesses uninitialized memory
and fail. Fix this by init the remaining occurences with memset.
