Subject: checkpatch: emit fewer kmalloc_array/kcalloc conversion warnings
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e367455a9f25b11e02b7ea7678a7b146bdd6667e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

checkpatch: emit fewer kmalloc_array/kcalloc conversion warnings

Avoid matching allocs that appear to be known small multiplications of a
sizeof with a constant because gcc as of 4.8 cannot optimize the code in
a calloc() exactly the same way as an alloc().

Look for numeric constants or what appear to be upper case only macro
#defines.
