Currently the 'c2dev' device data is not initialised when it's
allocated. There maybe an issue when using strncpy() to populate the
'name' attribute since a NUL terminator may not be provided in all
use-cases. To prevent such a failing, let's ensure the 'c2dev'
device data area is fully zeroed out on allocation.
