What about adding #define XRA_LAST 15 at the top, and replacing both "XRA_IFR | 0x01" and xra1403_regmap_cfg.max_register by XRA_LAST instead? That would avoid doing yet another memory allocation over and over. Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert

Linus, do you want a patch on top of your -devel branch or should I just send a new patch?

Linus, do you want a patch on > top of your -devel branch or should I just send a new patch? Yeah a patch on top is fine, I sent my pull request to Torvalds today so we can take this as a fix for the -rc cycle simply.

The new challenge is to remove VLAs from the kernel (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621) This patch replaces a VLA with an appropriate call to kmalloc_array.
