Subject: [PATCH 1/5] [media] winbond-cir: Use kmalloc_array() in wbcir_tx()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 07:19:00 +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.
