Subject: [PATCH] of: unittest: Remove VLA stack usage
The kernel would like to have all stack VLA usage removed[1]. This is a
test function so the execution speed is not critical. We can allocate
memory for this buffer instead of using a VLA. If kmalloc() fails just
return.
Allocate buffer with kmalloc().
