nfp: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it globally. There is currently an object (`tl`), at the beginning of multiple structures, that contains a flexible structure (`struct nfp_dump_tl`), for example: struct nfp_dumpspec_csr { struct nfp_dump_tl tl; ... __be32 register_width; /* in bits */ }; So, in order to avoid ending up with flexible-array members in the middle of multiple other structs, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible structure: struct nfp_dump_tl { struct_group_tagged(nfp_dump_tl_hdr, hdr, ... the rest of members ); char data[]; }; With the change described above, we now declare objects of the type of the tagged struct, in this case `struct nfp_dump_tl_hdr`, without embedding flexible arrays in the middle of another struct: struct nfp_dumpspec_csr { struct nfp_dump_tl_hdr tl; ... __be32 register_width; /* in bits */ }; Also, use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible array if needed. So, with these changes, fix 33 of the following warnings: drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_debugdump.c:58:28: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_debugdump.c:64:28: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_debugdump.c:70:28: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_debugdump.c:78:28: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_debugdump.c:87:28: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_debugdump.c:92:28: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/202Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
