In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the VLA in favor of a maximum size and adds a sanity check.
Existing callers of the firmware interface never need more than 24
bytes (struct gpio_set_config). This chooses 32 just to stay ahead
of future growth.
v2: Fix the length passed to rpi_firmware_property_list (by anholt,
acked by Kees).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
