static int sev_ioctl_do_platform_status(struct sev_issue_cmd *argp)
{
struct sev_user_data_status data;
int ret;

ret = __sev_do_cmd_locked(SEV_CMD_PLATFORM_STATUS, &data, &argp->error);
if (ret)
return ret;

if (copy_to_user((void __user *)argp->data, &data, sizeof(data)))
ret = -EFAULT;

return ret;
}

Would it be safer to memset @data here to all zeros too?
