Subject: [PATCHv2] mISDN: Remove VLAs


There's an ongoing effort to remove VLAs[1] from the kernel to eventually
turn on -Wvla. Remove the VLAs from the mISDN code by switching to using
kstrdup in one place and using an upper bound in another.

Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott <labbott@...hat.com>
---
v2: Switch to a tighter upper bound so we are allocating a more
reasonable amount on the stack (300). This is based on previous checks
against this value.
