Subject: [PATCH 3/4] gpio: Remove VLA from xra1403 driver
Date:   Fri,  9 Mar 2018 16:10:20 -0800
Message-Id: <20180310001021.6437-4-labbott@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180310001021.6437-1-labbott@redhat.com>
References: <20180310001021.6437-1-labbott@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk


The new challenge is to remove VLAs from the kernel
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621)

This patch replaces a VLA with an appropriate call to kmalloc_array.
