| |
One-element arrays are being deprecated[1]. Replace the one-element arrays with simple value types 'char reserved_char' and 'compat_int_t reserved'[2], once it seems these are just placeholders for alignment.
Also, while there, use the preferred form for passing a size of a struct. The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the variable type is changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed as argument is not.
Lastly, fix the checkpatch.pl warnings below:
ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible + char reserved_char;$
WARNING: please, no spaces at the start of a line + char reserved_char;$
ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible + compat_int_t reserved;$
WARNING: please, no spaces at the start of a line + compat_int_t reserved;$
