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 sdhci_cdns_priv { ... struct sdhci_cdns_phy_param phy_params[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 form: sizeof(*priv) + sizeof(priv->phy_params[0]) * nr_phy_params with: struct_size(priv, phy_params, nr_phy_params) Also, notice that, in this case, variable priv_size is not necessary, hence it is removed.
