Looks like a variable length array in struct. I think there is some
effort to remove the usage of VLA. Can you revisit this? I may be
wrong, please feel free to correct.
Are you sure? It's the first time I hear about it.
Could anybody confirm?
Please see [1] for info.
Variable Length Arrays in struct is expressly forbidden in C99, C11.
Clang does not support it. To make kernel compile with Clang few
people are trying to remove/reduce VLAIS usage.

I read it, and my structure is not a VLAIS; my "chan" array is a
flexible
array, its sizeof() is 0, so the sizeof() of the structure is constant.
See page 6 of the PDF, about alternatives to VLAIS:
"If possible use a flexible array member and move the array to the end
of
the struct"
Which is what I am doing here.
