[PATCH] brcmfmac: Replace zero-length array with flexible array member

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use "flexible array members"[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

Also, make use of the struct_size() helper in devm_kzalloc().
