The issue here seems to be a collision between "unknown array size"
and known sizes:

struct bpf_lpm_trie_key {
__u32 prefixlen; /* up to 32 for AF_INET, 128 for AF_INET6 */
__u8 data[0]; /* Arbitrary size */
};

struct lpm_key {
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key trie_key;
__u32 data;
};

This is treating trie_key as a header, which it's not: it's a complete
structure. :)

Perhaps:

struct lpm_key {
__u32 prefixlen;
__u32 data;
};

I don't see anything else trying to include bpf_lpm_trie_key.

This looks very similar, a struct of unknown size is being treated as a
header struct:

struct ib_uverbs_create_cq_resp {
__u32 cq_handle;
__u32 cqe;
__aligned_u64 driver_data[0];
};

struct ib_uverbs_ex_create_cq_resp {
struct ib_uverbs_create_cq_resp base;
__u32 comp_mask;
__u32 response_length;
};

And it only gets used here:

DECLARE_UVERBS_WRITE(IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_CREATE_CQ,
ib_uverbs_create_cq,
UAPI_DEF_WRITE_UDATA_IO(
struct ib_uverbs_create_cq,
struct ib_uverbs_create_cq_resp),
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UAPI_DEF_METHOD_NEEDS_FN(create_cq)),

which must also be assuming it's a header. So probably better to just
drop the driver_data field? I don't see anything using it (that I can
find) besides as a sanity-check that the field exists and is at the end
of the struct.
