Nope, I guess I should have run the patch through "get_maintainer.pl".

Thanks!

Note, I'm going to be adding the below patch for 4.18 (or 5.0) which
will cause the build to break in case there's any more instances of
this.

Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Prevent further users of zero size static arrays in
 trace events

A zero size static array has special meaning in the ftrace infrastructure.
Trace events are for recording data in the trace buffers that is normally
difficult to obtain via probes or function tracing. There is no reason for
any trace event to declare a zero size static array.

If one does, BUILD_BUG_ON() will trigger and prevent the kernel from
compiling.
