While not yet in the tree, there is a proposed patch[1] that was
depending on the prior behavior of _DEFINE_FLEX, which did not have an
explicit initializer. Provide this via __DEFINE_FLEX now, which can also
have attributes applied (e.g. __uninitialized).
Examples of the resulting initializer behaviors can be seen here:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
