Subject: [PATCH][next] mtd: rawnand: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 16:08:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200930210824.GA12277@embeddedor> (raw)

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member
instead of a one-element array. Also, make use of the struct_size()
helper to calculate the size of the allocation for _nand_. In order
to keep the code as maintainable as possible and to keep _cs_ as an
array, add a new macro CS_N to aid in the allocation size calculation,
in case there is a need for more Chip Select IDs in the future. In the
meantime, the macro is set to 1. This also avoids having to use a magic
number '1' as the last argument for struct_size().
