flexible-array transformations for 6.5-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please, pull the following patches that transform zero-length and one-element arrays into C99 flexible-array members. These patches have been baking in linux-next for a while.

Thanks

This must stop.

Honestly, this is just making things *WORSE*.

That drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_cmds.h needs to be converted all-or-nothing, not this crazy piece-meal conversion effort.

You literally seem to be converting structure definitions that ARE NOT USED, and then leaving the ones that actually *are* used alone, because they have uses like

    struct hfi_sys_set_resource_pkt {
    ..
        u32 resource_data[1];
    };

                pkt->hdr.size += sizeof(*res) - sizeof(u32);

where 'res' is a pointer to that packet type.

I'm not at all interested in patches that convert structures that have zero use. You might as well just *remove* them in that case, rather than make some syntactic change that doesn't matter.

And yes, that header file already has a mix of '[]' arrays and '[1]' arrays. I'm not interested in continuing that kind of pointless conversion.

Either this gets converted properly, or it gets left alone. No more of this kind of crazy "let's convert the types that are never used".
