Enabling -Wvla found another variable-length array with randconfig
testing:

drivers/mtd/maps/sa1100-flash.c: In function 'sa1100_setup_mtd':
drivers/mtd/maps/sa1100-flash.c:224:10: error: ISO C90 forbids variable length array 'cdev' [-Werror=vla]

Dynamically allocate the cdev array passed to mtd_concat_create()
instead of using a VLA.
