Yep; that's why I didn't include any warning message in the changelog text this time. And the reason for that is that tlv is not being indexed anywhere in the code. However, it's being used in the pointer arithmetic operation below: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921/mcu.c: 164 rxd = (struct mt76_connac2_mcu_rxd *)skb->data; 165 grant = (struct mt7921_roc_grant_tlv *)(rxd->tlv + 4); which means that it can be considered as an array of size greater than zero at some point. Hence, it should be transformed into a C99 flexible array. > > gcc-13 --version > gcc-13 (Ubuntu 13-20230320-1ubuntu1) 13.0.1 20230320 (experimental) [master r13-6759-g5194ad1958c] > Copyright (C) 2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
