Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ACPI: Fix building with GCC 15
Since the Linux kernel initializes many non-C-string char arrays with
literals. While it would be possible to convert initializers from:
{ "BOOP", ... }
to something like:
{ { 'B', 'O', 'O', 'P' }, ... }
that is annoying.
Making -Wunterminated-string-initialization stay silent about char
arrays marked with nonstring would be much better.
Without the __attribute__((nonstring)) we would get the following build
error:
...
drivers/acpi/acpica/acpredef.h:903:11: error: initializer-string for array of ‘char’ truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks ‘nonstring’ attribute (5 chars into 4 available) [-Werror=unterminated-string-initialization]

and,

Upstream GCC has added this commit
622968990beee7499e951590258363545b4a3b57[0][1] which silences warning
about truncating NUL char when initializing nonstring arrays.
