Subject: [PATCH] staging: wlan-ng: Use flexible-array for one / zero-length
 arrays
Message-ID: <Y1vNNSSWK1EkcohT@ubunlion>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Precedence: bulk

Flexible-array member should be used instead of one or zero member to
meet the need for having a dynamically sized trailing elements in a
structure. Refer to links [1] and [2] for detailed guidance on this
suggestion.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member
[2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.16/process/deprecated.html#zero-length-and-one-element-arrays

Issue identified using coccicheck.
