One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct samsung_usb2_phy_driver {
	...
        struct samsung_usb2_phy_instance instances[0];
};

instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct samsung_usb2_phy_driver) + count *
			sizeof(struct samsung_usb2_phy_instance), GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(instance, instances, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
