[PATCH] iio: potentiometer: ds1803: Remove VLA usage

From: Himanshu Jha
Date: Thu Mar 08 2018 - 13:46:02 EST


In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA usage and replace it
with fixed a fixed length array and therefore, prevent potential
stack overflow attacks.

Fixed as a part of the discussion to remove all VLAs from the kernel:
