[PATCHv2] mfd: twl-core: allocate modules with twl_private

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Thu Sep 24 2026 - 15:41:02 EST


Use a flexible array member to allocate the twl_client array together
with struct twl_private. This removes a separate devm_kcalloc() and
keeps the module data tied to the main private structure.

Can't use twl_get_num_slaves() for this as that bases its value on
twl_priv->twl_id , which is unallocated at this point.
