Ouch, thanks for catching that!

But the clk_hw_onecell_data actually has a variable size array at the
end and as you can see further down I store 2 items in that array.

So that sizeof should be struct_size(data, hws, 2)

Would you be willing to update your patch with that?

And please add:
Fixes: f199223cb490 ("phy: qcom: Introduce new eDP PHY driver")
