This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].
As the "chip" variable is a pointer to "struct mtk_nfc_nand_chip" and
this structure ends in a flexible array:
struct mtk_nfc_nand_chip {
[...]
u8 sels[] __counted_by(nsels);
};
the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + count * size" in the
devm_kzalloc() function.
This way, the code is more readable and safer.

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 Restructured Text 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.
