tty: serial: mpc52xx_uart: move static declarations up.grafted
Avoid a compilation error so that they're not used before being declared. Fixes: 4d105880666a ("tty: serial: mpc52xx_uart: add bounds check for psc_num array index") Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202609260356.tJWbd1WU-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260927203501.14105-1-rosenp@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

+ * `bindgen` binds the C `size_t` type as the Rust `usize` type, so we can
+ * use it in contexts where Rust expects a `usize` like slice (array) indices.
+ * `usize` is defined to be the same as C's `uintptr_t` type (can hold any
+ * pointer) but not necessarily the same as `size_t` (can hold the size of any
+ * single object). Most modern platforms use the same concrete integer type for
+ * both of them, but in case we find ourselves on a platform where
+ * that's not true, fail early instead of risking ABI or
+ * integer-overflow issues.
+ *
+ * If your platform fails this assertion, it means that you are in
+ * danger of integer-overflow bugs (even if you attempt to add
+ * `--no-size_t-is-usize`). It may be easiest to change the kernel ABI on
+ * your platform such that `size_t` matches `uintptr_t` (i.e., to increase
+ * `size_t`, because `uintptr_t` has to be at least as big as `size_t`).
