Ok, so clang is also trying to use memset for any array.
Linus suggested adding volatile. ref:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=whc3Uvhrmrr27xp5=oOhSDjXc5s1ZxC3B7xMYV6oj4WRQ@mail.gmail.com/
for the gcc-12 problem, and with that I can see that clang has worked
as expected and removed memset from struct prom_args. But now memset
is still there for other arrays in prom_init_mem() and others. I think
we will still need a patch for clang, and that will also work when the
gcc-12 bug is fixed.
