Subject: [PATCH] ARM: ixp4xx: Replace 0-length arrays with flexible arrays

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace npe_load_firmware's
union of 0-length arrays with flexible arrays. Detected with GCC 13,
using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

drivers/soc/ixp4xx/ixp4xx-npe.c: In function 'npe_load_firmware':
drivers/soc/ixp4xx/ixp4xx-npe.c:570:60: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'u32[0]' {aka 'unsigned int[]'} [-Warray-bounds=]
  570 |                         image->data[i] = swab32(image->data[i]);
