Currently struct wmi_host_mem_chunks defines: struct host_memory_chunk items[1]; Per the guidance in [1] this should be a flexible array. However there is a documented requirement: some fw revisions require at least 1 chunk regardless of count To satisfy this requirement, follow the guidance from [2] and wrap the array in a union which contains both the flexible array and a single instance of the underlying struct. Since the footprint of the struct is unchanged, no additional driver changes are required. No functional changes, compile tested only.

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.
