Hello, This patch removes memset() from snd_emu10k1_fx8010_info() which apparently isn't needed there. Upatched code uses:
memset(info, 0, sizeof(info)); where 'info' is a pointer and therefore only first 4 bytes of 'info' gets cleared on a 32bit machine. Anyway looking at the code zeoring this memory region isn't needed at all because the snd_emu10k1_fx8010_info() function initializes all the 'info' fields on its own. So that's why this code works at all in its original form. This patch removes this redundant code. Also snd_emu10k1_fx8010_info() can't fail so lets save some bytes and change its return type to void.
