+Subject: ca8210: Fix crash by zero initializing data
+
+The struct cas_control embeds multiple generic SPI structures and we
+have to make sure these structures are initialized to default values.
+This driver does not set all attributes. When using kmalloc before some
+attributes were not initialized and contained random data which caused
+random crashes at bootup.
