> Subject: [PATCH][next] rtlwifi: Replace fake flex-array with flex-array member
>
> Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
> moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.
>
> Address the following warning found with GCC-13 and
> -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
> In function ‘fortify_memset_chk’,
> inlined from ‘rtl_usb_probe’ at drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/usb.c:1044:2:
> ./include/linux/fortify-string.h:430:25: warning: call to ‘__write_overflow_field’ declared with
> attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()?
> [-Wattribute-warning]
> 430 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
> This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
> routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
> enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].
