Subject: [PATCH] ARM: orion: avoid VLA in orion_mpp_conf

Testing randconfig builds found an instance of a VLA that was
missed when determining that we have removed them all:

arch/arm/plat-orion/mpp.c: In function 'orion_mpp_conf':
arch/arm/plat-orion/mpp.c:31:2: error: ISO C90 forbids variable length array 'mpp_ctrl' [-Werror=vla]

This one is fairly straightforward: we know what all three
callers are, and the maximum length is not very long.

Fixes: 68664695ae57 ("Makefile: Globally enable VLA warning")

Hi Arnd

Do you want this to go via the mvebu tree? Or you can take it direct
into arm-soc. There have not been any patches to orion5x, dove or
mv78xx0 for a long time, so there won't be any merge conflicts.

Thanks

Andrew

Ah! Thanks for catching this. It seems "allmodconfig" isn't quite "all". ;)

Largest possible is 1 + 49 / 8 == 7. But 8 makes it nice an round. :)
