In contrast to the other structs, there is no object of type struct mt7921_asar_fg declared in a union: 91 struct mt7921_acpi_sar { 92 u8 ver; 93 union { 94 struct mt7921_asar_dyn *dyn; 95 struct mt7921_asar_dyn_v2 *dyn_v2; 96 }; 97 union { 98 struct mt7921_asar_geo *geo; 99 struct mt7921_asar_geo_v2 *geo_v2; 100 }; 101 struct mt7921_asar_cl *countrylist; 102 struct mt7921_asar_fg *fg; 103 }; The DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper was created to declare flex-array members in unions or alone in structs[1]. -- Gustavo [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#zero-length-and-one-element-arrays

Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated. FWIIW, with this information I'm happy with this patch. Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <simon.horman@corigine.com>

Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead. Address the following warnings found with GCC-13 and -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921/acpi_sar.c:266:25: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘struct mt7921_asar_dyn_limit_v2[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921/acpi_sar.c:263:25: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘struct mt7921_asar_dyn_limit[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921/acpi_sar.c:223:28: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of ‘struct mt7921_asar_geo_limit_v2[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921/acpi_sar.c:220:28: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of ‘struct mt7921_asar_geo_limit[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921/acpi_sar.c:334:37: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘u8[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=] Notice that the DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper allows for flexible-array members in unions. 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].
