Subject: [PATCH][next] usb: host: oxu210hp-hcd: Replace fake flex-array with
 flexible-array member

Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.

Transform zero-length array into flexible-array member in struct
ehci_regs.

Address the following warnings found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
drivers/usb/host/oxu210hp-hcd.c:3983:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘u32[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/usb/host/oxu210hp-hcd.c:3986:38: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘u32[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/usb/host/oxu210hp-hcd.c:3971:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘u32[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]

drivers/usb/host/oxu210hp-hcd.c:3569:35: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of ‘u32[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/usb/host/oxu210hp-hcd.c:3888:36: warning: array subscript port is outside array bounds of ‘u32[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/usb/host/oxu210hp-hcd.c:2911:45: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘u32[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].
