Hi, sorry I missed your patch set. Please add me either to 'To' or 'Cc'
field of the email if you want a quick response.

I think the implementation is flakky in both places and should be fixed
before doing any other changes. Thanks James for pointing out these
commits.

What you need to do is to create a prequel commit that reads the number
of banks to a variable e.g.

  unsigned int nr_active_banks;

and allocate 'active_banks' dynamically and change the places that
James pointed out. I guess it is OK to have a commit with two 'Fixes'
tags.
