This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].

As the "port_prox" variable is a pointer to "struct port_proxy" and
this structure ends in a flexible array:

struct port_proxy {
	[...]
	struct t7xx_port ports[];
};

the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + size * count" in the
devm_kzalloc() function.

This way, the code is more readable and safer.
