I would rather see it as âstruct fsg_buffhd *buffhds;â since this change
requires both mass_storage.c and multi.c to be changed.

If the allocation of buffhds is done separately in fsg_common_init().
mass_storage.c and multi.c doesn't need to be changed. But it's little
tricky to know whether buffhds should be allocated or not.

They should be always allocated. If the code allocate fsg_common itself, the
case is obvious. If caller passes a pointer to fsg_common structure, it is
assumed that the structure is not initialised, thus the function need to
allocate buffers.
