gcc complains when writing into a zero-length array:

The solution is usually to use a flexible-array member the struct, but
we can't directly have that inside of a union, nor can it be the only
member of a struct, so add a dummy struct with another zero-length
member to get the intended behavior.

If someone has a better workaround, let me know and I can send a new
patch, as this version is rather ugly.

Actually, there is one. Kees Cook introduced a new macro,
DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(), to do this in a more elegant way:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/8/27/524

The same series also fixes the warning in the etas_es58x driver:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/8/27/523

So we only need to wait for Kees's series to get merged :)


Yours sincerely,
Vincent Mailhol
