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.

Where is the memory allocated to this now?
Why do we need this in both structs?

The kzalloc call was updated to use struct_size to allocate it
together with the struct.

kzalloc and kcalloc can be combined in both locations.

I'm not sure we should we be embedding the full 'struct pca955x_led'
(which contains runtime framework structures like 'struct led_classdev')
directly inside the platform data? Besides platform data should ideally
be restricted to static configuration properties rather than runtime
state.

I believe my original question might have been misunderstood. I was
asking about the architectural design choice. Why does the same 'leds'
array need to exist in both the 'pca955x' runtime structure and the
'pca955x_platform_data' configuration structure? Could we look at
eliminating this redundancy to avoid storing duplicate data?

#ifdef statements are to be avoided in C files.
Please find another way to do this (if it's required).

This is not my code.
