I actually got some issues with this patch, when there are multiple
embedded structs, like here:


/**
 * struct v4l2_async_subdev - sub-device descriptor, as known to a bridge
 *
 * @match_type:	type of match that will be used
 * @match:	union of per-bus type matching data sets
 * @list:	used to link struct v4l2_async_subdev objects, waiting to be
 *		probed, to a notifier->waiting list
 */
struct v4l2_async_subdev {
	enum v4l2_async_match_type match_type;
	union {
		struct {
			struct fwnode_handle *fwnode;
		} fwnode;
		struct {
			const char *name;
		} device_name;
		struct {
			int adapter_id;
			unsigned short address;
		} i2c;
		struct {
			bool (*match)(struct device *,
				      struct v4l2_async_subdev *);
			void *priv;
		} custom;
	} match;

	/* v4l2-async core private: not to be used by drivers */
	struct list_head list;
};

With this patch, it would identify the union as:
	union fnode;

Instead of:
	union match;

I just sent a new patch that works interactively until it gets rid of 
all nested struct in the right way.


The regex should be:

	while ($members =~ s/({[^\{\}]*})//g) {};

This will get rid of the nested structs level by level. We can
see how it works by using this:

	# ignore embedded structs or unions
	print STDERR "MEMBERS=$members\n";
	while ($members =~ s/({[^\{\}]*})//g) { print STDERR "MEMBERS=$members\n"; };

The result is:

MEMBERS= enum v4l2_async_match_type match_type; union { struct { struct fwnode_handle *fwnode; }  fwnode; struct { const char *name; }  device_name; struct { int adapter_id; unsigned short address; }  i2c; struct {bool (*match)(struct device *, struct v4l2_async_subdev *); void *priv; }  custom; }  match;/* v4l2-async core private: not to be used by drivers */ struct list_head list; 
MEMBERS= enum v4l2_async_match_type match_type; union { struct   fwnode; struct   device_name; struct   i2c; struct   custom; }  match;/* v4l2-async core private: not to be used by drivers */ struct list_head list; 
MEMBERS= enum v4l2_async_match_type match_type; union   match;/* v4l2-async core private: not to be used by drivers */ struct list_head list; 

With is what we actually want to do there.


Thanks,
Mauro
