Subject: net: llc: drop VLA in llc_sap_mcast()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=678f4bda35483473ae7ad674ece4c7c43a000888;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

net: llc: drop VLA in llc_sap_mcast()

Avoid a VLA[1] by using a real constant expression instead of a variable.
The compiler should be able to optimize the original code and avoid using
an actual VLA. Anyway this change is useful because it will avoid a false
positive with -Wvla, it might also help the compiler generating better
code.
