The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, 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.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
- A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.
- Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
will never understand, were of the opinion that
:c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.
- We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
- Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

Convert the pcmcia docs to ReST format. Most of the changes here
are trivial.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

This function was created as a deprecated fallback case back in 2010 by
commit eb14120f74 ("pcmcia: re-work pcmcia_request_irq()") for legacy
cases.
Actual in-kernel users haven't been around for a long while. The last
in-kernel user was apparently removed four years ago by commit
5f5316fcd0 ("am2150: Update nmclan_cs.c to use update PCMCIA API").
Just remove it entirely.

Introduce the module_pcmcia_driver() macro which is a convenience macro
for pcmcia driver modules. It is intended to be used by pcmcia drivers
with init/exit sections that do nothing but register/unregister the
pcmcia driver.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/pcmcia-2.6:
smc91c92_cs.c: fix bogus compiler warning
orinoco_cs: be more careful when matching cards with ID 0x0156:0x0002
hostap_cs: support cards with "Version 01.02" as third product ID
pcmcia: add PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3
pxa2xx pcmcia - stargate 2 use gpio array.
pcmcia: pxa2xx: remove empty socket_init / socket_resume functions.
drivers:pcmcia:soc_common: make socket_init and socket_suspend optional
This is needed to match wireless cards with Intersil firmware that have
ID 0x0156:0x0002 and the third ID "Version 01.02". Such cards are
currently matched by orinoco_cs, which doesn't support WPA. They should
be matched by hostap_cs.
The first and the second product ID vary widely, so there are few users
with some particular IDs. Of those, very few can submit a patch for
hostap_cs or write a useful bugreport. It's still important to support
their hardware properly.
With PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3, it should be possible to cover
the remaining Intersil based designs that kept the numeric ID and the
"version" of the reference design.

Dave Hinds pointed out to me that 37979e1546 will break b43 and
ray_cs, as IOCARD is not -- as the name would suggest -- only needed
for cards using IO ports. Instead, as it re-deines several pins, it
is also required for using interrupts.

The "Pin" and "Copy" configuration registers (CISREG_SCR, CISREG_PPR)
do not seem to be utilized anywhere. If a device would request a
write to these registers, "0" would be written. Continue to do so, but
warn of unexpected behavior -- and remove the "Pin" and "Copy" entries
from config_req_t.

pcmcia_modify_configuration() was only used by two drivers to fix up
one issue each: setting the Vpp to a different value, and reducing
the IO width to 8 bit. Introduce two explicitly named functions
handling these things, and remove one further typedef.
