[PATCH][next] ASoC: SOF: control.h: Replace zero-length array with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting
C99 flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length arrays
declarations in anonymous union with the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY()
helper macro.

This helper allows for flexible-array members in unions.

As documented in submitting-patches.rst please send patches to the 
maintainers for the code you would like to change.  The normal kernel
workflow is that people apply patches from their inboxes, if they aren't
copied they are likely to not see the patch at all and it is much more
difficult to apply patches.

That's exactly what I intended to do:

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback include/sound/sof/control.h

Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz> (maintainer:SOUND)

Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.com> (maintainer:SOUND)

alsa-devel@alsa-project.org (moderated list:SOUND)

linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

Did you see anything wrong with this or something...?

Thanks

Yes, you should've also included me and the SOF maintainers.  It looks
like the MAINTAINERS patterns aren't entirely up to date there
unfortunately.  Though that said given that you'd picked up on the
subject line I'd have expected the signoffs on the commits to also be
pointing at the right tree as well.

Subject line heuristics look at X-many commits, but it looks like
get_maintainers stops looking at git history by default after 1 year,
which seems kind of odd. I had to work at it to get it to emit your
name. :)

scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git --git-since=3-years-ago

Seems like it's worth getting the MAINTAINERS regex updated? Is this
right?

      commit: b264ef796959cb65cdbc811da5ab950e33df4162

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
