This terminal 1-length variable array can be directly converted into a C99
flexible array member.
As all users of MPI2_CONFIG_PAGE_IO_UNIT_8 (Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t) do not use
Sensor[], no further source changes are required to accommodate its reduced
sizeof():
- mpt3sas_config.c:mpt3sas_config_get_iounit_pg8() fetches a
Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t into a caller-provided buffer, assuming
sizeof(Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t) as the buffer size. It has one caller:
- mpt3sas_base.c:_base_static_config_pages() passes the address of the
Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t iounit_pg8 member of the per-adapter struct (struct
MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc) as the buffer. The assumed buffer size is
therefore correct.
However, the only subsequent use in mpt3sas of the thus populated
ioc->iounit_pg8 is a little further on in the same function, and this
use does not involve ioc->iounit_pg8.Sensor[].
Note that iounit_pg8 occurs in the middle of the per-adapter struct,
not at the end. The per-adapter struct is extensively used throughout
mpt3sas even if its iounit_pg8 member isn't, resulting in an
especially large amount of noise when comparing binary changes
attributable to this commit.

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.
