I would prefer your v1.
Reasons:
- The change is not just kernel related.
There is a EC (embedded controller) firmware to collaborate with the code. The firmware doesn't know the kernel only copies the first byte of the packet (at least for now). See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/refs/heads/master....
- We don't copy partial packets in a EC host command.
IMHO, it is also not a big deal if copying a few unused bytes in the packet.
Ok, so if the EC does access the uninitialized data, then it is indeed better to initialize it to zero as I first thought.
