Prefer struct_size() over open-coded versions of idiom:
sizeof(struct-with-flex-array) + sizeof(typeof-flex-array-elements) * count
where count is the max number of items the flexible array is supposed to
contain.
In this particular case, in the open-coded version sizeof(typeof-flex-array-elements)
is implicit in _count_ because the type of the flex array data is u8:
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/fwil_types.h:941:
941 struct brcmf_dload_data_le {
942 __le16 flag;
943 __le16 dload_type;
944 __le32 len;
945 __le32 crc;
946 u8 data[];
947 };

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.
