Subject: [PATCHv2] drm/i2c: tda998x: Remove VLA usage
Date:   Tue, 10 Apr 2018 18:03:30 -0700
Message-Id: <20180411010330.17866-1-labbott@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

There's an ongoing effort to remove VLAs[1] from the kernel to eventually
turn on -Wvla. The vla in reg_write_range is based on the length of data
passed. The one use of a non-constant size for this range is bounded by
the size buffer passed to hdmi_infoframe_pack which is a fixed size.
Switch to this upper bound.

v2: Switch to make the buffer size more transparent and add a bounds
check.
