The patch spi/ppc4xx: Use kcalloc() in spi_ppc4xx_of_probe() has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 797236f10a095a1742373bca5f284c5ec8afb446 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 14:30:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] spi/ppc4xx: Use kcalloc() in spi_ppc4xx_of_probe() * A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation indicated that an array data structure should be processed. Thus reuse the corresponding function "kcalloc". This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. * Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
