Subject: [PATCH 5.9 408/757] mtd: lpddr: fix excessive stack usage with clang

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

[ Upstream commit 3e1b6469f8324bee5927b063e2aca30d3e56b907 ]

Building lpddr2_nvm with clang can result in a giant stack usage
in one function:

drivers/mtd/lpddr/lpddr2_nvm.c:399:12: error: stack frame size of 1144 bytes in function 'lpddr2_nvm_probe' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]

The problem is that clang decides to build a copy of the mtd_info
structure on the stack and then do a memcpy() into the actual version. It
shouldn't really do it that way, but it's not strictly a bug either.

As a workaround, use a static const version of the structure to assign
most of the members upfront and then only set the few members that
require runtime knowledge at probe time.
