For the kernel, we just need:

diff --git a/lib/zstd/common/fse_decompress.c b/lib/zstd/common/fse_decompress.c
index a0d06095be83..b11e87fff261 100644

 } FSE_DecompressWksp;
 
 
And if upstream wants to stay C89 compat, perhaps:

#if __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L
# define __FLEX_ARRAY_DIM	/*C99*/
#else
# define __FLEX_ARRAY_DIM	0
#endif

and then use __FLEX_ARRAY_DIM as needed (and keep the other "-1" changes
in the github commit):

 typedef struct {
     short ncount[FSE_MAX_SYMBOL_VALUE + 1];
-    FSE_DTable dtable[1]; /* Dynamically sized */
+    FSE_DTable dtable[__FLEX_ARRAY_DIM]; /* Dynamically sized */
 } FSE_DecompressWksp;
