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 is31fl32xx_priv {
...
struct is31fl32xx_led_data leds[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 function:
static inline size_t sizeof_is31fl32xx_priv(int num_leds)
{
return sizeof(struct is31fl32xx_priv) +
(sizeof(struct is31fl32xx_led_data) * num_leds);
}
with:
struct_size(priv, leds, count)
