Subject: [PATCH] staging: wlan-ng: Use flexible-array for one / zero-length arrays
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 18:08:13 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y1vNNSSWK1EkcohT@ubunlion> (raw)

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.
