Subject: [PATCH 00/14] drm/amd/pm: Replace one-element arrays with
 flexible-array members

Hi all,

This series aims to replace one-element arrays with flexible-array
members.

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Refactor the code according to the use of flexible-array members, instead
of one-element arrays, and use the struct_size() helper to calculate the
size for the dynamic memory allocation.

Also, save some heap space in the process. More on this on each individual
patch.

This series also addresses multiple of the following sorts of warnings:

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../pm/powerplay/hwmgr/smu8_hwmgr.c:1515:37:
warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of ‘const struct
phm_clock_voltage_dependency_record[1]’ [-Warray-bounds]

which, in this case, they are false positives, but nervertheless should be
fixed in order to enable -Warray-bounds[3][4].
