In this particular case, the struct element is already flexible struct. Thus struct element ie[] is ambiguous inside another struct. The members of struct element ie aren't being accessed in code anywhere. The data of u8 type is copied in it. So it has been changed to u8 ie[] to make the sparse happy and code simple.
