cpufreq: tegra186: Use flexible array to simplify memory allocation
Use flexible array to simplify memory allocation. It saves some memory, avoids an indirection when reading the 'clusters' array and removes some LoC. Detailed explanation: ==================== Knowing that: - each devm_ allocation over-allocates 40 bytes for internal needs - Some rounding is done by the memory allocator on 8, 16, 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192 boundaries and that: - sizeof(struct tegra186_cpufreq_data) = 24 - sizeof(struct tegra186_cpufreq_cluster) = 16 Memory allocations in tegra186_cpufreq_probe() are: data: (24 + 40) = 64 => 64 bytes data->clusters: (2 * 16 + 40) = 72 => 96 bytes So a total of 160 bytes are allocated. 56 for the real need, 80 for internal uses and 24 are wasted. If 'struct tegra186_cpufreq_data' is reordered so that 'clusters' is a flexible array: - it saves one pointer in the structure - only one allocation is needed So, only 96 bytes are allocated: 16 + 2 * 16 + 40 = 88 => 96 bytes Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>
