Subject: [PATCH] rapidio/rio_mport_cdev: use struct_size() helper

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct rio_switch {
	...
        struct rio_dev *nextdev[0];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following form:

(RIO_GET_TOTAL_PORTS(swpinfo) * sizeof(rswitch->nextdev[0])) + sizeof(*rswitch)

with:

struct_size(rswitch, nextdev, RIO_GET_TOTAL_PORTS(swpinfo))

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
