It seems that my Coccinelle script got confused by this:

p54_convert_output_limits():

        priv->output_limit = kmalloc(data[1] *
                sizeof(struct pda_channel_output_limit) +
                sizeof(*priv->output_limit), GFP_KERNEL);

	...

        priv->output_limit->entry_size =
                sizeof(struct pda_channel_output_limit);
        priv->output_limit->len = priv->output_limit->entry_size *
                                  priv->output_limit->entries +
                                  priv->output_limit->offset;

It thought "sizeof(struct pda_channel_output_limit)" was the element
count, since it wasn't able to identify the array member here.

Regardless, I've sent a v2 now. :)
