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 foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};
instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now
use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

The site-specific OOM messages are unnecessary, because they
duplicate the MM subsystem generic OOM message.

Use kzalloc rather than the combination of kmalloc and memset.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression x,size,flags;
statement S;
@@
-x = kmalloc(size,flags);
+x = kzalloc(size,flags);
if (x == NULL) S
-memset(x, 0, size);
// </smpl>

LPDDR flash chips are based on completely new kind of chips probing.
Device capabilities are available via special request.
We sent field request command which contains Major and Minor numbers - and
recieve corresponend value.
All requests are performed within PFOW window.
