When a structure contains a flexible array member, it is not supposed to be
included in arrays or other structs.
Quoting the C spec [0]
"Such a structure (and any union containing, possibly recursively, a
member that is such a structure) shall not be a member of a structure
or an element of an array."

IOW efi_hii_keyboard_layout should not include
struct efi_key_descriptor descriptors[]; since we use it at the
declaration of struct efi_hii_keyboard_package.
