Subject: [PATCH] efi: Replace efi_memory_attributes_table_t 0-sized array with flexible array
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2024 15:55:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240710225538.work.224-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
While efi_memory_attributes_table_t::entry isn't used directly as an
array, it is used as a base for pointer arithmetic. The type is wrong
as it's not technically an array of efi_memory_desc_t's; they could be
larger. Regardless, leave the type unchanged and remove the old style
"0" array size. Additionally replace the open-coded entry offset code
with the existing efi_early_memdesc_ptr() helper.
