Hi All,

The latest mainline kernel branch fails to build with clang (version 16.0.1), and the errors are like:


drivers/scsi/aacraid/commsup.c:1170:17: error: array index 1 is past the end of the array (that has type 'u8[1]' (aka 'unsigned char[1]'), cast to '__le32 *' (aka 'unsigned int *')) [-Werror,-Warray-bounds]
                                (((__le32 *)aifcmd->data)[1] == cpu_to_le32(3));
                                            ^             ~

git bisect pointed to df8fc4e934c1 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3").

Reverting the commit has fixed the build failure.

I will be happy to test any patch or provide any extra log if needed.
