SubjectRe: [PATCH] use kzalloc instead of malloc+memset
Lion Vollnhals napsal(a):

>This patch against 2.6.13-mm3 replaces malloc and memset with kzalloc in drivers/base/class.c .
>Furthermore this patch fixes actually two bugs:
> The memset arguments were occasionally swaped and therefore wrong.
>
>Usage of kzalloc makes this code shorter and more bugfree.

maybe, the better way is to write `*cls' instead of `struct class',
better for further changes

`*class_dev' instead of `struct class_device'
