openwrt-mirror/target/linux/bcm27xx/patches-5.15/950-0465-v4l2-ctrls-add-support-for-dynamically-allocated-arr.patch

From 613b860fe9c37b96d9706b02fe77933f086f9896 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl>
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 13:56:53 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] v4l2-ctrls: add support for dynamically allocated
 arrays.

Implement support for dynamically allocated arrays.

Most of the changes concern keeping track of the number of elements
of the array and the number of elements allocated for the array and
reallocating memory if needed.

Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl>
(cherry picked from commit fd5d45e6561f6f8c406b81aeddecaa11f0bd15af)
