One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct spi_replaced_transfers {
...
struct spi_transfer inserted_transfers[];
};
Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
So, replace the following form:
insert * sizeof(struct spi_transfer) + sizeof(struct spi_replaced_transfers)
with:
struct_size(rxfer, inserted_transfers, insert)
