Subject: [PATCH 0/4] VLA removal from the GPIO subsystem

Hi,

For those who haven't seen it, there's an effort to remove VLAs from the
kernel so we can turn on -Wvla in the name of security. See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 for more details and discussion.

This is a series to remove a few VLAs from the gpio subsystem. These are
compile tested only so I'd appreciate reviews and tests from
maintainers. When these get Acked, I expect these to just go through the
GPIO tree like usual.

Thanks,
Laura
