This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1]. Here the multiplication is obviously safe because the "event_rings" member never can have a value greater than 255 (8 bits). This member is set twice using always FIELD_GET: mhi_cntrl->event_rings = FIELD_GET(MHICFG_NER_MASK, regval); mhi_cntrl->event_rings = FIELD_GET(MHICFG_NER_MASK, regval); And the MHICFG_NER_MASK macro defines the 8 bits mask that guarantees a maximum value of 255. However, using kcalloc() is more appropriate [1] and improves readability. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.
