This makes static checker unhappy:

/home/cocci/testing/include/net/psp/types.h:167:6-18: WARNING use
flexible-array member instead
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#zero-length-and-one-element-arrays)

I think/guess the warning could be avoided using something alike the
following (completely untested!!!):

struct psp_dev_stats {
	struct_group(required,
		union {
			struct {
				u64 rx_packets;
				u64 rx_bytes;
				u64 rx_auth_fail;
				u64 rx_error;
				u64 rx_bad;
				u64 tx_packets;
				u64 tx_bytes;
				u64 tx_error;
			};
			DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(u64, required);
		};
	);
};

// ...
const unsigned int required_cnt = sizeof(stats.required) / sizeof(u64);
