Subject: [PATCHv2] platform/x86: panasonic-laptop: simplify allocation of sinf
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:45:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326024525.63258-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

Change to a flexible array member to allocate once instead of twice.

Allows using __counted_by for extra runtime analysis. Move the counting
variable assignment to right after allocation as required by
__counted_by.

Remove + 1 to allocation. It's already done in the previous line.
