Subject: [PATCH] staging: wlan-ng: Replace zero-length arrays with
 DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper
Message-ID: <Y3YKhee8L+kAfHM4@qemulion>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Precedence: bulk

The code currently uses C90 standard extension based zero length arrays.
The zero length array member also happens to be the only member of the
structs. Such zero length array declarations are deprecated and the
new C99 standard extension of flexible array declarations are to be
used instead.

The DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper allows for a flexible array member as
the only member in a structure. Refer to these links [1], [2] for
details.
