[PATCH] i2c: mux: pinctrl: use flexible-array member and struct_size() helper

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Update the code to use a flexible array member instead of a pointer in
structure i2c_mux_pinctrl and use the struct_size() helper.

Also, make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded
version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes, in particular
in the context in which this code is being used.

So, replace the following form:

sizeof(*mux) + num_names * sizeof(*mux->states)

with:

struct_size(mux, states, num_names)

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Thanks, patch applied to i2c-mux/for-next
