[PATCH] media: dvb_ca_en50221: simplify ca allocation
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Mon Apr 06 2026 - 21:02:11 EST
Use a flexible array member to combine allocations and simplify memory
handling slightly.
Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis. Move counting variable
assignment after allocation as done by kzalloc_flex for GCC >= 15.
