[PATCH] v4l2: fill the unused fields with zeros in case of VIDIOC_S_FMT

[NÃmeth MÃrton]

The VIDIOC_S_FMT is a write-read ioctl: it sets the format and returns
the current format in case of success. The parameter of VIDIOC_S_FMT
ioctl is a pointer to struct v4l2_format. [1] This structure contains some
fields which are not used depending on the .type value. These unused
fields are filled with zeros with this patch.

The patch was tested with v4l-test 0.12 [2] with vivi and with
gspca_sunplus driver together with Trust 610 LCD POWERC@M ZOOM.
