[PATCH][next] usb: ehci-fsl: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Move the conflicting declaration to the end of the structure. Notice
that `struct ehci_hcd` is a flexible structure --a structure that
contains a flexible-array member.

Fix the following warning:

drivers/usb/host/ehci-fsl.c:414:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

While the sentiment is laudable, this mechanical change simply will not 
work.  The driver was written incorrectly to begin with, and the change 
will probably break it.

I'll try to find time soon to create a proper fix.  In short, the 
usb_ctrl field should have been stored in the .priv flex member of the 
ehci_hcd structure all along, and the .extra_priv_size member of 
ehci_fsl_overrides should have been set to the size of this u32 field, 
not the size of the entire ehci_fsl structure.

[PATCH] usb: ehci-fsl: Fix use of private data to avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

[Alan Stern]

In the course of fixing up the usages of flexible arrays, Gustavo
submitted a patch updating the ehci-fsl driver.  However, the patch
was wrong because the driver was using the .priv member of the
ehci_hcd structure incorrectly.  The private data is not supposed to
be a wrapper containing the ehci_hcd structure; it is supposed to be a
sub-structure stored in the .priv member.

Fix the problem by replacing the ehci_fsl structure with
ehci_fsl_priv, containing only the private data, along with a suitable
conversion macro for accessing it.  This removes the problem of having
data follow a flexible array member.
