    Subject[PATCH 1/5] [media] winbond-cir: Use kmalloc_array() in wbcir_tx()
    From
    Date
    From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
    Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 07:19:00 +0200

    A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
    indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
    Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

    This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
