-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.
There is currently an object (`tl`), at the beginning of multiple
structures, that contains a flexible structure (`struct nfp_dump_tl`),
for example:
struct nfp_dumpspec_csr {
struct nfp_dump_tl tl;
...
__be32 register_width; /* in bits */
};
So, in order to avoid ending up with flexible-array members in the
middle of multiple other structs, we use the `struct_group_tagged()`
helper to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members
in the flexible structure:
struct nfp_dump_tl {
struct_group_tagged(nfp_dump_tl_hdr, hdr,
... the rest of members
);
char data[];
};
With the change described above, we now declare objects of the type of
the tagged struct, in this case `struct nfp_dump_tl_hdr`, without
embedding flexible arrays in the middle of another struct:
struct nfp_dumpspec_csr {
struct nfp_dump_tl_hdr tl;
...
__be32 register_width; /* in bits */
};
Also, use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible
array if needed.
So, with these changes, fix 33 of the following warnings:
drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_debugdump.c:58:28: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

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.
