In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLAs and replace them
with fixed-length arrays instead.

 From a security viewpoint, the use of Variable Length Arrays can be
a vector for stack overflow attacks. Also, in general, as the code
evolves it is easy to lose track of how big a VLA can get. Thus, we
can end up having segfaults that are hard to debug.

Also, fixed as part of the directive to remove all VLAs from
the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621

I would adjust the various const struct s5m_rtc_reg_config's
.regs_count to be represented by this new define, so the stack and the
structures stay in sync. Something like:

static const struct s5m_rtc_reg_config s2mps13_rtc_regs = {
         .regs_count             = MAX_NUM_TIME_REGS - 1,

?


Yep. I thought about that and decided to wait for some feedback first. But yeah, I think is that'd be a good change.
