Good thing to tidy up, but I'm a little curious why I'm not
seeing these reports with latest sparse?
Ah. Found it via the report linked
CF='-Wflexible-array-sizeof'

Probably worth mentioned that in the patch descriptions. I've added it
to this one. 

I'm still setting the sparse report even with this patch.

What am I missing?
