[PATCH] dmaengine: mv_xor_v2: simplify allocation

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Mon Apr 06 2026 - 23:53:11 EST


Use a flexible array member to create a single allocation of sw_desq and
xor_dev.

Move mv_xor_v2_sw_desc definition above as flexible array members
require a full definition compared to pointers.
