crypto: nx - Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it globally. So, we are deprecating flexible-array members in the middle of another structure. There is currently an object (`header`) in `struct nx842_crypto_ctx` that contains a flexible structure (`struct nx842_crypto_header`): struct nx842_crypto_ctx { ... struct nx842_crypto_header header; struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[NX842_CRYPTO_GROUP_MAX]; ... }; So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the middle of another struct, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible structure: struct nx842_crypto_header { struct_group_tagged(nx842_crypto_header_hdr, hdr, ... the rest of the members ); struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[]; } __packed; With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the type of the tagged struct, without embedding the flexible array in the middle of another struct: struct nx842_crypto_ctx { ... struct nx842_crypto_header_hdr header; struct nx842_crypto_header_group group[NX842_CRYPTO_GROUP_MAX]; ... } __packed; We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible array if needed. So, with these changes, fix the following warning: In file included from drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.c:55: drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.h:174:36: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] 174 | struct nx842_crypto_header header; | ^~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
