Hi Gaosheng,

Thank you for the patches.

The above shortened link is a bit confusing. The #193 complete link is
mentioned in the cover letter. In all cases being modified the "[]"
notation is used. Is this a boiler plate patch description or are all
three of these links really applicable to each of the patches?

- Eliminate fake flexible arrays from the kernel ("variable length"
one-element and zero-length arrays) #21
- Replace fake flexible-array declarations with the
DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper macro #193
- Address -Wzero-length-array warnings reported by Clang #197

> Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html

Shouldn't this link be in the cover letter? And the applicable
link(s), as shown in the cover letter, here in the patches?
