PATCH 1/1 hwspinlock: stm32: Use struct_size() helper in devm_kzalloc()

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version, in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that, in the worst scenario, could lead to heap overflows.

Also, address the following sparse warnings:
drivers/hwspinlock/stm32_hwspinlock.c:84:32: warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure

In reply to Gustavo A. R. Silva

Hi Gustavo,

Thank you for the patch.
I am fine with it with a nit picking comment regarding the non-mandatory 80 characters line break [1].
