Subject: [PATCH 1/6] GPU-DRM-GMA500: Use kmalloc_array() in
 mid_get_vbt_data_r10()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 08:54:07 +0200

A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
