Subject: [PATCH 5.4 118/177] cpufreq: powernv: fix stack bloat and hard limit on number of CPUs

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@...dia.com>

commit db0d32d84031188443e25edbd50a71a6e7ac5d1d upstream.

The following build warning occurred on powerpc 64-bit builds:

drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c: In function 'init_chip_info':
drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c:1070:1: warning: the frame size of
1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This is with a cross-compiler based on gcc 8.1.0, which I got from:
  https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/8.1.0/

The warning is due to putting 1024 bytes on the stack:

    unsigned int chip[256];

...and it's also undesirable to have a hard limit on the number of
CPUs here.

Fix both problems by dynamically allocating based on num_possible_cpus,
as recommended by Michael Ellerman.
