> In order to gain the bounds-checking coverage that __counted_by provides to
> flexible-array members at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array
> indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
> functions), we must make sure that the counter member, in this particular case
> `num`, is updated before the first access to the flex-array member, in this
> particular case array `hws`. See below:

> commit f316cdff8d67 ("clk: Annotate struct clk_hw_onecell_data with
> __counted_by") introduced `__counted_by` for `struct clk_hw_onecell_data`
> together with changes to relocate some of assignments of counter `num`
> before `hws` is accessed:

> include/linux/clk-provider.h:
> 1380 struct clk_hw_onecell_data {
> 1381 unsigned int num;
> 1382 struct clk_hw *hws[] __counted_by(num);
> 1383 };

> However, this structure is used as a member in other structs, in this case in
> `struct visconti_pll_provider`:

> drivers/clk/visconti/pll.h:
> 16 struct visconti_pll_provider {

> Hence, we need to move the assignments to `ctx->clk_data.num` after
> allocation for `struct visconti_pll_provider` and before accessing the flexible
> array `ctx->clk_data.hws`. And, as assignments for all members in `struct
> visconti_pll_provider` are originally adjacent to each other, relocate all
> assignments together, so we don't split up `ctx->clk_data.hws = nr_plls` from
