Subject: [PATCH v3] gpio: Remove VLA from stmpe driver
The new challenge is to remove VLAs from the kernel
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621)
The number of GPIOs on the supported chips is fairly small
so stack allocate to a known upper bound and spit out a warning
if any new chips have more gpios.
Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott <labbott@...hat.com>

v3: Split this off from the rest of the series since some of the
patches had been picked up. Switched to just hardcoding an upper
bound for the stack array since it's only a few extra bytes
of stack space.
