Subject: regulator: da9062: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d69f763fd360ec62dab9024f98209655f3046c68;p=linux.git

regulator: da9062: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertenly introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
