Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: dfs: remove accidental use of stack VLA
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2018 13:34:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180330183401.GA16758@embeddedgus> (raw)

In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove accidental use of stack VLA.

This avoids an accidental stack VLA (since the compiler thinks
the value of FFT_NUM_SAMPLES can change, even when marked
"const"). This just replaces it with a #define.

Also, fixed as part of the directive to remove all VLAs from
the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621
