-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 (`header`), at the beginning of multiple
structures, that contains a flexible structure (`struct mwl8k_cmd_pkt`),
for example:
struct mwl8k_cmd_get_hw_spec_sta {
struct mwl8k_cmd_pkt header;
...
__le32 num_tx_desc_per_queue;
__le32 total_rxd;
} __packed;
So, in order to avoid ending up with flexible-array members in the
middle of multiple other structs, we use the `__struct_group()` helper
to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the
flexible structure:
struct mwl8k_cmd_pkt {
__struct_group(mwl8k_cmd_pkt_hdr, hdr, __packed,
... the rest of the members
);
char payload[];
} __packed;
With the change described above, we now declare objects of the type of
the tagged struct, in this case `struct mwl8k_cmd_pkt_hdr`, without
embedding flexible arrays in the middle of another struct:
struct mwl8k_cmd_get_hw_spec_sta {
struct mwl8k_cmd_pkt_hdr header;
...
__le32 num_tx_desc_per_queue;
__le32 total_rxd;
} __packed;
Also, update the type of a couple of variables and function parameters
from `struct mwl8k_cmd_pkt` to `struct mwl8k_cmd_pkt_hdr`.
So, with these changes, fix 33 of the following warnings[1]:
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwl8k.c:2353:30: 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 Restructured Text 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.
