From: "Minghao Chi (CGEL ZTE)" <chi.minghao@xxxxxxxxxx> Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member and make use of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc(). For example: struct fw_request { ... u32 data[]; } Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
