soc: fsl: qe: Replace one-element array and use struct_size() helper
The current codebase makes use of one-element arrays in the following form: struct something { int length; u8 data[1]; }; struct something *instance; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(*instance) + size, GFP_KERNEL); instance->length = size; memcpy(instance->data, source, size); but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. So, replace the one-element array with a flexible-array member. Also, make use of the new struct_size() helper to properly calculate the size of struct qe_firmware. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and, audited and fixed _manually_.
