Subject: [PATCH v2] mtd: sa1100: avoid VLA in sa1100_setup_mtd
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 08:58:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181105075835.16234-1-boris.brezillon@bootlin.com> (raw)
Enabling -Wvla found another variable-length array with randconfig
testing:
drivers/mtd/maps/sa1100-flash.c: In function 'sa1100_setup_mtd':
drivers/mtd/maps/sa1100-flash.c:224:10: error: ISO C90 forbids variable length array 'cdev' [-Werror=vla]
Dynamically allocate the cdev array passed to mtd_concat_create()
instead of using a VLA.

Changes in v2:
- Allocate cdev dynamically instead of having a fixed-size array
Hello,
I'm planning to queue this patch to the mtd/fixes PR. Arnd, Kees, feel
free to add your R-b.
Regards,
Boris
