There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in struct
i40e_qvlist_info instead of one-element array, and use the struct_size()
helper.

This looks ok to me.
Acked-by: Shiraz Saleem <shiraz.saleem@intel.com>


It seems we should add this to the new irdma driver submission as well which replaces i40iw.
I will fold it into v7 of the rdma portion of the series
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/20210520200326.GX1096940@ziepe.ca/

Additionally we will add this patch when we resend this PR on iwl-next.
