Subject: [PATCH] net/ncsi: Silence runtime memcpy() false positive warning
Date: Fri,  2 Dec 2022 13:24:22 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221202212418.never.837-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

The memcpy() in ncsi_cmd_handler_oem deserializes nca->data into a
flexible array structure that overlapping with non-flex-array members
(mfr_id) intentionally. Since the mem_to_flex() API is not finished,
temporarily silence this warning, since it is a false positive, using
unsafe_memcpy().
