[PATCH] firewire: core: use struct_size and flex_array_size in ioctl_add_descriptor
From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Tue Sep 16 2025 - 08:25:44 EST
Use struct_size() to determine the memory needed for a new 'struct
descriptor_resource' and flex_array_size() to calculate the number of
bytes to copy from userspace. This removes the hardcoded size (4 bytes)
for the 'u32 data[]' entries.
No functional changes intended.
