flexible-array transformations for 6.5-rc1
Hi Linus,
Please, pull the following patch that transforms a zero-length array
into a C99 flexible-array member. This patch has been baking in
linux-next for a while.
Also, this addresses a build failure with Clang[1] by fixing multiple
-Warray-bounds warnings in drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_wlan_net.c[2].

uapi: wireless: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
Zero-length and one-element arrays are deprecated, and we are moving
towards adopting C99 flexible-array members, instead.
Address the following warnings seen under GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_wlan_net.c:1597:50: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘__u8[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_wlan_net.c:1603:61: warning: array subscript 16 is outside array bounds of ‘__u8[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_wlan_net.c:1604:61: warning: array subscript 24 is outside array bounds of ‘__u8[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_wlan_net.c:1600:61: warning: array subscript 16 is outside array bounds of ‘__u8[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_wlan_net.c:1586:50: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘__u8[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
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].
This results in no differences in binary output.
