[PATCH] drm/gma500: Remove VLA

There's an ongoing effort to remove VLAs[1] from the kernel to eventually
turn on -Wvla. Switch to a reasonable upper bound for the VLAs in
the gma500 driver.

This was a little hard to figure out but I think 32 should be a
comfortable upper bound based on all the structures I saw. Of course I
can't test it.
