Subject: [PATCH] usb: host: replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
Date: Fri,  1 Apr 2022 08:03:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220401080337.2407622-1-lv.ruyi@zte.com.cn> (raw)

From: Lv Ruyi <lv.ruyi@zte.com.cn>

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
