Subject: [PATCH 2/4] gpio: Remove VLA from MAX3191X driver
Date:   Fri,  9 Mar 2018 16:10:19 -0800
Message-Id: <20180310001021.6437-3-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 several a VLA with an appropriate call to
kmalloc_array.
