Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion at [1]. Un-embed the net_devices from struct lmac by converting them into pointers, and allocating them dynamically. Use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the net_device object at bgx_lmac_enable(). The free of the device occurs at bgx_lmac_disable(). Do not free_netdevice() if bgx_lmac_enable() fails after lmac->netdev is allocated, since bgx_lmac_disable() is called if bgx_lmac_enable() fails, and lmac->netdev will be freed there (similarly to lmac->dmacs).

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 reStructuredText 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.
