[PATCH 1/2] command: Allocate history buffer using calloc()

Sat Dec 2 21:52:30 CET 2023


The history buffer is currently a static array which can be some
10-40 kiB depending on configuration, and so adds considerably to
the U-Boot binary size. Allocate it dynamically instead to reduce
the U-Boot binary size.
