Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: hsu: use kzalloc_flex
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 19:59:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327025943.8178-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Simplifies allocations by using a flexible array member in this struct.
Remove hsu_dma_alloc_desc. It now offers no readability advantages in
this single usage.
Add __counted_by to get extra runtime analysis.
Apply the exact same treatment to struct hsu_dma and devm_kzalloc.
