[PATCH 16/28] iio: imu: inv_icm42600: use = { } instead of memset()
Posted by David Lechner 4 months ago
Use { } instead of memset() to zero-initialize stack memory to simplify
the code.

This one isn't as obvious as many as the zeroing was in a loop
and now it's at declaration.

It's fine because we always copy over the same elements.

I'll leave this whole series a little longer in case we are missing
subtle cases like this. (but ones where it actually does make a difference!)
