Then please use "const char **alt_paths" for the function argument to
make code cleaner and add another argument to pass the number of array
elements.

static int brcm_alt_fw_paths(const char *path, const char *board_type,
			     const char **alt_paths, unsigned int num_paths)
{
	size_t alt_paths_size = array_size(sizeof(*alt_paths), num_paths);
	
	memset(alt_paths, 0, alt_paths_size);
}

...

Maybe even better create a dedicated struct for the alt_paths:

struct brcmf_fw_alt_paths {
	const char *alt_paths[BRCMF_FW_MAX_ALT_PATHS];
	unsigned int index;
};

and then use the ".index" in the brcm_free_alt_fw_paths(). I suppose
this will make code a bit nicer and easier to follow.
