Commit16c2004d9e("mfd: omap-usb-tll: Allocate driver data at once") changed the memory allocation of 'tll' to consolidate it into a single allocation, introducing an incorrect size calculation. In particular, the allocation for the array of pointers was converted into a single-pointer allocation. The memory allocation used to occur in two steps: tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct usbtll_omap), GFP_KERNEL); tll->ch_clk = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct clk *) * tll->nch, GFP_KERNEL); And it turned that into the following allocation: tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*tll) + sizeof(tll->ch_clk[nch]), GFP_KERNEL); sizeof(tll->ch_clk[nch]) returns the size of a single pointer instead of the expected nch pointers. This bug went unnoticed because the allocation size was small enough to fit within the minimum size of a memory allocation for this particular case [1]. The complete allocation can still be done at once with the struct_size macro, which comes in handy for structures with a trailing flexible array. Fix the memory allocation to obtain the original size again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
