It upsets static checkers when we don't check for allocation failure.  I
moved the memset() of "tv" earlier so we don't use uninitialized data on
error.

Fixes: 1d212cf0c2d8 ('[media] cx18: struct i2c_client is too big for stack')

Btw, the MAINTAINERS file says the ivtv list is moderated but actually
it's a subscriber only list...  Sucks.

Andy,

Should we perhaps change the MAINTAINERS file to point to the linux-media list
instead?

Regards,

	Hans

Yes.  When I get time this weekend, I can submit a patch; unless you
beat me to it.

Andy
