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.

More headers needed to be fixed when moving greybus out of staging and
enabling the COMPILE_TEST option.
Add forward declarations for the needed structures.

Before moving greybus core out of staging and moving header files to
include/linux some greybus header files were missing the necessary
includes. This would trigger compilation faillures with some example
errors logged bellow for with CONFIG_KERNEL_HEADER_TEST=y.
So, add the necessary headers to compile clean before relocating the
header files.

With the goal of moving the core of the greybus code out of staging, the
include files need to be moved to include/linux/greybus.h and
include/linux/greybus/
