-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it globally. There is currently a local structure `template` that is using a flexible `struct fw_iso_packet` as a header for an on-stack array `__be32 header[CIP_HEADER_QUADLETS];`. struct { struct fw_iso_packet params; __be32 header[CIP_HEADER_QUADLETS]; } template = { {0}, {0} }; However, we are deprecating flexible arrays in the middle of another struct. So, in order to avoid this, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible structure: struct fw_iso_packet { struct_group_tagged(fw_iso_packet_hdr, hdr, ... the rest of the members ); u32 header[]; /* tx: Top of 1394 isoch. data_block */ }; With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the type of the tagged struct, without embedding the flexible array in the middle of another struct: struct { struct fw_iso_packet_hdr params; __be32 header[CIP_HEADER_QUADLETS]; } template = { {0}, {0} }; We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to the flexible structure. So, with these changes, fix the following warning: sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c: In function ‘process_rx_packets’: sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c:1184:46: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] 1184 | struct fw_iso_packet params; | Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
