Re: [PATCH v2][next] scsi: lpfc: Use struct_size() helper

From: Justin Tee

no_of_objects may be hardcoded to 1 right now, but does it make more
sense to use?

struct_size(rap, obj, be32_to_cpu(rap->no_of_objects));

We probably should have declared no_of_objects as __be32 to have
avoided this confusion.
