The memset for dev_info is indeed redundant. But the memset for reg_info seems
reasonable, because there are some input parameters in reg_info.

E.g. If info->data is NULL the get_reg_info() fills in the width and length
fields. If non-NULL the registers are put into the buffer pointed at by the data
field.

So, I will remove the redundant memset for dev_info, and keep the memset for reg_info
in the next version.
