Commit Message

The commit 2a38075cd0be ("nl80211: Add support for EDMG channels")
introduced a member to the cfg80211 channel definition. Unfortunately
the channel definitions are allocated on the stack and are not always
initialized via memset. Now this results in a broken probe of brcmfmac
driver, because cfg80211_chandef_valid() accesses uninitialized memory
and fail. Fix this by init the remaining occurences with memset.
