Fix it by converting local variable 'union vsx_reg buf' into an array.
Also consider function argument 'union vsx_reg *reg' as array instead
of pointer because callers are actually passing an array to it.
I think you should change the function prototype to reflect this.
However, while I agree with this change in principle, it looks to be a
lot of code churn for a fairly narrow use. Perhaps we should just
address the specific bug. Something like the below (not tested)?
Yes, this would serve the same purpose and it's more compact as well. Sent v2.
