[PATCH v2 2/4][next] uapi: wireless: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
Posted by Gustavo A. R. Silva 1 month ago
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Address the following warnings by changing the type of the middle struct
members in various composite structs, which are currently causing trouble,
from `struct sockaddr` to `struct __kernel_sockaddr_legacy`.

include/uapi/linux/wireless.h:751:33: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/wireless.h:776:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/wireless.h:833:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/wireless.h:857:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/wireless.h:864:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

It's a little weird to have to update all the whitespace, but yeah,
seems correct.
