[PATCH] rust: acpi: replace `core::mem::zeroed` with `pin_init::zeroed`
Posted by Siyuan Huang 3 months, 2 weeks ago 
All types in `bindings` implement `Zeroable` if they can, so use
`pin_init::zeroed` instead of relying on `unsafe` code.

If this ends up not compiling in the future, something in bindgen or on
the C side changed and is most likely incorrect.

Siyuan, there are more such cases, e.g. in OF, debugfs and a few others in case
you're interested in fixing up those as well. :)

We should make this method accessible under kernel::ffi:: since that's
IMO a better path for it for cases like this. It doesn't really have
anything to do with pin_init in this use-case.

Regardless:

Yeah, we should do that. I don't have time to do it, so if anyone wants
to go ahead, please do :)
