Hi Jason,
Thanks for wrestling with this.  We filed a quick thread last week to
track this:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1452
With conferences this and next week, and -Werror fallout, there's a
lot of fire right now and not a lot of time to triage.

I guess I'm curious, what is the intent of what this code is trying to
do, and can this be replaced with BUILD_BUG_ON?

Perhaps, though this assertion looks a bit like offsetof() to me. I
wonder if that can help here?
