Using an allocated memory area with a size smaller than the data structure it is cast to generates warnings with gcc12: In function ‘_base_assign_fw_reported_qd’, inlined from ‘_base_static_config_pages’ at drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c:5495:7, inlined from ‘_base_make_ioc_operational’ at drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c:8109:6: drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c:5397:40: warning: array subscript ‘Mpi2SasIOUnitPage1_t {aka struct _MPI2_CONFIG_PAGE_SASIOUNIT_1}[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[20]’ [-Warray-bounds] 5397 | (le16_to_cpu(sas_iounit_pg1->SASWideMaxQueueDepth)) ? ... Fix this by allocating sas_iounit_pg1 with a size equal to its structure type (Mpi2SasIOUnitPage1_t). This increases slightly the amount of memory allocated, but this is acceptable as this is not the hot path and the memory area is temporary (used only within _base_assign_fw_reported_qd()).
