When we restart the firmware, we shouldn't keep old debug data around. Since the "allocate" function might not reallocate the memory blocks (they're only freed when we unbind from the device), clear the memory to have a clean slate for debug data. This is a bit more complex since we normally don't enter into the allocation function, but duplicating the logic didn't seem enticing either, so rework the allocation a bit to always go into the individual block allocation, but there clear if it's already allocated, rather than allocating again.

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.
