Gustavo,

I'm afraid I don't have any hardware to test it on and the generated
output differs substantially from the original code.

Yeah; this series requires careful review from the people that knows the code better. It took me a day of work to go through all the places that needed to be changed due to the flexible array transformation. However, due to the kind of changes, it'd be great to have a second opinion or at least someone that could take a look at the changes. Thanks -- Gustavo

If the int/size_t changes are separated from the array size change, it's easier to see the array size change is a binary no-op. (i.e. diffoscope shows no executable changes.) I'd recommend splitting the int/size_t changes from the array size changes.
This series aims to replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members in multiple structures in drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.h. There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2]. This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(). These issues were found with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed, manually.
