[PATCH v4] mfd: twl-core: Embed the twl_client array in twl_private
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 20:48:10 EST
At most four I2C slave addresses are ever used (TWL4030 class), so
there is no need to allocate the twl_client array separately. Embed a
fixed array of TWL_MAX_SLAVES entries in struct twl_private and drop the
extra devm_kcalloc() and its error handling.
Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@xxxxxxxxx>

v4: use a static array
v3: Capitalize Allocate.
v2: don't use twl_get_num_slaves().
