Hi Christophe!

Ahh. OK. Given this an option would be to: do nothing (keep current
status quo); allocate memory dynamically passing the "msi->nr" after it
has been set accordingly; use BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_NR and waste a little bit
of space.
Perhaps moving to using the DECLARE_BITMAP() would be fine in this case
too, at least to match style of other drivers more closely.
Jim, Florian and Lorenzo - is this something that would be OK with you,
or you would rather keep things as they were?

This tag would have to be written as:
Addresses-Coverity: ("Out-of-bounds access (ARRAY_VS_SINGLETON)")

Probably not the most elegant solution, but I would keep it as:
DECLARE_BITMAP(used, BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_NR);
Otherwise aligning either before or after the open bracket will cause
either an error or a warning issued by checkpatch.pl accordingly about
the style. Other users of this (a vast majoirty) macro don't do any
specific alignment at large

A healthy paranoia, I see. :-)
