I am not sure if I understand you correctly here. Maybe I will explain
what I intended to write. An array with size 0 at the end of a structure
takes no space in the structure. The benefit of using it is that after
the structure one can allocate a number of the array elements and
address them easily. Another option would be placing pointer in the
samsung_usb2_phy_instance and allocate memory separately, but this would
involve two allocations and a pointer would be always present in the 
structure.
