If the gfp flag used for the memory allocation already has __GFP_ZERO, then there is no need to explicitly clear the "struct devres_node". It is already zeroed. This saves a few cycles when using devm_zalloc() and co. In the case of devres_alloc() (which calls __devres_alloc_node()), the compiler could remove the test and the memset() because it should be able to see that the __GFP_ZERO flag is set. So this would make the code both faster and smaller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
