In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLAs and replace them with fixed-length arrays instead.
rtc-mcp795.c uses a variable-length array declaration to contain the command to write the rtcc; this can be replaced by a fixed- size array of length 2 (instruction, address) + 32 (data out), assuming a maximum data length of 32 bytes before wrap up.
