The memcpy() of the data following a coreboot_table_entry couldn't be
evaluated by the compiler under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. To make it easier
to reason about, add an explicit flexible array member to struct
coreboot_table_entry, and validate the sizes before copying. Avoids this
run-time false positive warning:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 168) of single field "&device->entry" at drivers/firmware/google/coreboot_table.c:103 (size 8)

Have you considered adding the flexible array member directly to the union in struct coreboot_device instead? I think that would make this a bit simpler by not having to copy header and data portion separately.

Yeah, exactly. Isn't that a bit simpler? (I wasn't aware of the flexible array member in union issue, but it sounds like we have a neat solution for that already.)
