The devices array inside get_pairing() is declared as static, so I don't
see how this can be on the stack? Are these the structures you're
referring to? That said, it seems weird to have an inline function
declare a static variable, since then every single caller of the
function would cause another static variable to be allocated, right? It
seems to me that if the function is still desired to be inline then the
cable_pairing array should at least be moved into some c-file, so that
it only gets created once. Perhaps a better solution is however to stop
having get_pairing() as inline to begin with?
