Subject: [PATCH 01/21] net: stmmac: Avoid VLA usage
Git-commit: 8ac60ffb9a83c8f0f6b3bab5c205d75a32914904
Patch-mainline: v4.18-rc1
References: git-fixes

In the quest to remove all stack VLAs from the kernel[1], this switches
the "status" stack buffer to use the existing small (8) upper bound on
how many queues can be checked for DMA, and adds a sanity-check just to
make sure it doesn't operate under pathological conditions.
