Subject: [PATCH] leds: pca955x: kzalloc + kcalloc to single kzalloc
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 21:08:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320040821.46540-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)

Two fewer allocations as a result.

Required placing some structs before others as flexible array members
require a complete definition. Declaration is not enough.

Added __counted_by support for one of the structs for extra runtime
analysis.
