[PATCH] pwm: core: Zero-initialize the temp state

From: Munehisa Kamata
Date: Sat Feb 25 2023 - 20:37:43 EST


Zero-initialize the on-stack structure to avoid unexpected behaviors. Some
drivers may not set or initialize all the values in pwm_state through their
.get_state() callback and therefore some random values may remain there and
be set into pwm->state eventually.

This actually caused regression on ODROID-N2+ as reported in [1]; kernel
fails to boot due to random panic or hang-up.
