While you're at it you should change to using ARRAY_SIZE() in the for
loop, and use sizeof in the rtas call - that way you'll only have the
size in one place.

I notice pm_rtas_activate_signals() also allocates a pm_signal_local on
the stack and iterates over it. I take it something guarantees that
count in that routine will not exceed NR_PHYS_CTRS ?

cheers
