    mfd: omap-usb-tll: Use struct_size to allocate tll
    
    [ Upstream commit 40176714c818b0b6a2ca8213cdb7654fbd49b742 ]
    
    Commit 16c2004d9e4d ("mfd: omap-usb-tll: Allocate driver data at once")
    changed the memory allocation of 'tll' to consolidate it into a single
    allocation, introducing an incorrect size calculation.
    
    In particular, the allocation for the array of pointers was converted
    into a single-pointer allocation.
    
    The memory allocation used to occur in two steps:
    
    tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct usbtll_omap), GFP_KERNEL);
    tll->ch_clk = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct clk *) * tll->nch,
                               GFP_KERNEL);
    
    And it turned that into the following allocation:
    
    tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*tll) + sizeof(tll->ch_clk[nch]),
                       GFP_KERNEL);
    
    sizeof(tll->ch_clk[nch]) returns the size of a single pointer instead of
    the expected nch pointers.
    
    This bug went unnoticed because the allocation size was small enough to
    fit within the minimum size of a memory allocation for this particular
    case [1].
    
    The complete allocation can still be done at once with the struct_size
    macro, which comes in handy for structures with a trailing flexible
    array.
    
    Fix the memory allocation to obtain the original size again.
