Subject: [PATCH wireless-drivers] mt76x0: Remove VLA usage
Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2018 15:50:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180807225040.GA2164@beast> (raw)

Even with "const" variables, the compiler will generate warnings about
VLA usage. In the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this uses
a #define instead of a const to do the array sizing.

Fixes: e87b5039511a ("mt76x0: eeprom files")
Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
---
Please include this for the v4.19 merge window. The VLA was introduced
with the new source file (which I also note is missing a SPDX line), so
I'd like to avoid the kernel ever getting released with a VLA here.
