[PATCH][next] ethtool: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning
Posted by Gustavo A. R. Silva 1 year, 4 months ago
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Move the conflicting declaration to the end of the structure. Notice
that `struct ethtool_dump` is a flexible structure --a structure that
contains a flexible-array member.

Fix the following warning:
./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4.h:1215:29: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Sorry, one minor nit, after the fact.

cxgb4 would probably be a better prefix than ethtool for this patch.
But then it would conflict, by name, with
