When I do that I get with gcc 9.2.1:

linux/net/ipv6/rpl_iptunnel.c:16:25: error: flexible array member in a struct with no named members
   16 |  struct ipv6_rpl_sr_hdr srh[];

This struct is so defined that a simple memcmp() can decide if it's the
same tunnel or not. We don't have any "named members" _yet_ but possible
new UAPI can introduce them.

Can we make an exception here? I can remove it but then I need to
introduce the same code again when we introduce new fields in UAPI for
this tunnel.
