There is also the use above that in the same function
that could also be converted.

/* build a regdomain rule for every valid channel */
size_of_regd =
sizeof(struct ieee80211_regdomain) +
num_of_ch * sizeof(struct ieee80211_reg_rule);

regd = kzalloc(size_of_regd, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!regd)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
