SubjectRe: [PATCH] clk: hisilicon: Use devm_kcalloc() instead of devm_kzalloc()
From

> As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,

> multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
> function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead

> caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
> overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

> So, use the purpose specific devm_kcalloc() function instead of the
> argument size * count in the devm_kzalloc() function.
