[PATCH] ALSA: asihpi: Use flexible array for control cache

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 19:01:45 EST


Store the ASIHPI control-cache lookup table in the control-cache
allocation instead of allocating it separately.

This keeps the lookup table tied to the cache object lifetime and
removes the extra allocation and free path.
