crypto: talitos - Replace zero-length arrays with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper

[PATCH][next] crypto: talitos - Replace zero-length arrays with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper

Posted by Gustavo A. R. Silva 3 years, 6 months ago

Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting
C99 flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length arrays
declarations in anonymous union with the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY()
helper macro.

This helper allows for flexible-array members in unions.
