[PATCH] ALSA: usb: fpc: replace kmalloc_array followed by copy_from_user with memdup_array_user

From: Pedro Demarchi Gomes

Date: Tue Oct 07 2025 - 08:02:45 EST


Replace kmalloc_array() followed by copy_from_user() with
memdup_array_user() to improve and simplify fcp_ioctl_set_meter_map().

No functional changes intended.
