[PATCH] serial: of-serial: fix uninitialized kmalloc variable

From: Jingchang Lu
Date: Tue Oct 21 2014 - 05:38:15 EST


The info pointer points to an uninitialized kmalloced space.
If a device doesn't have clk property, then info->clk may
have unpredicated value and cause call trace. So use kzalloc
to make sure it is NULL initialized.
