Replace one-element array with flexible-array member in struct wmi_disconnect_event. It's also worth noting that due to the flexible array transformation, the size of struct wmi_disconnect_event changed (now the size is 1 byte smaller), and in order to preserve the logic of before the transformation, the following change is needed: - if (len < sizeof(struct wmi_disconnect_event)) + if (len <= sizeof(struct wmi_disconnect_event)) This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed, manually.
