Subject: [PATCH 1/5] pinctrl: mvebu: Use kmalloc_array() in mvebu_pinctrl_dt_node_to_map()
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 17:31:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c4b535ba-be93-5b61-43e0-dcf5018609ee@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <12880bc6-1695-074a-788b-dd936f6f795a@users.sourceforge.net>

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.
