Subject: [char-misc-next 4/5] mei: bus: elminate variable length arrays
Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2017 15:04:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170320130406.11120-4-tomas.winkler@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170320130406.11120-1-tomas.winkler@intel.com>

Though VLA are supported by CC99 there are many cavities
and should be avoided.

'const size_t len = sizeof()' that we used may not be set
at the compile time hence generating VLA code.

This fixes also sparse warning
warning: Variable length array is used type.
