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].

Replace a one-element array with a flexible-array member in struct
imgu_fw_header and use the struct_size() helper.

This also helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable
-Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the
FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy().

Originally this was sizeof() the pointer which is clearly wrong.  Then
patch 1 changed it to force that binary_header[] had at least one
element, but now it's changed again to say that binary_header[] can have
zero elements.  So either patch 1 or patch 2 is wrong.

I feel like the probably the correct fix is to just fold these two
patches together and say that binary_header[] with zero elements is
allowed.  But I don't know this code well.

Oops... I forgot to tag this one for stable, too. But it would probably
be better to fold both of these into a single patch as you suggest.

To me these two pieces of code suggest that binary_header[] should not
be declared as a one-element array, but a flexible one instead:

130                 if (sizeof(struct imgu_fw_bi_file_h) +
131                     css->fwp->file_header.binary_nr * sizeof(struct imgu_fw_info) >
132                     css->fw->size)
133                         goto bad_fw;
...
147                 for (i = 0; i < binary_nr; i++) {
148                         struct imgu_fw_info *bi = &css->fwp->binary_header[i];
...

Thanks
