Subject: [PATCH][next] carl9170: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 16:33:26 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aR1yxjmzb2DM2-Uq@kspp> (raw)

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

Move the conflicting declaration (which happens to be in a union, so
we're moving the entire union) to the end of the corresponding
structure. Notice that `struct carl9170_rsp` is a flexible structure,
this is a structure that contains a flexible-array member.

With these changes fix the following warning:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/carl9170.h:382:9: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
