These structs have holes in them so we end up disclosing a few bytes of
uninitialized stack data.

drivers/misc/xilinx_sdfec.c:305 xsdfec_get_status() warn: check that 'status' doesn't leak information (struct has a hole after 'activity')
drivers/misc/xilinx_sdfec.c:449 xsdfec_get_turbo() warn: check that 'turbo_params' doesn't leak information (struct has a hole after 'scale')

We need to zero out the holes with memset().

Fixes: 6bd6a690c2e7 ("misc: xilinx_sdfec: Add stats & status ioctls")

Who is generating these warnings? Is this any new GCC or different tool?
I see that 3byte padding but never seen these warnings.

This is a Smatch check.

ok. It looks like I need to update it to latest version. My version is
not showing these.

Anyway thanks for patches,
