FORTIFY_SOURCE has been ignoring 0-sized destinations while the kernel code base has been converted to flexible arrays. In order to enforce the 0-sized destinations (e.g. with __counted_by), the remaining 0-sized destinations need to be handled. Instead of converting an empty struct into using a flexible array, just directly use a pointer without any additional indirection. Remove struct gb_bootrom_get_firmware_response and struct gb_fw_download_fetch_firmware_response.

Thanks for adding the comments! This looks good to me.

I want to call attention to a few other spots that should get a little more attention--related directly to what you're doing here.
I noticed that the GB_CONTROL_TYPE_GET_MANIFEST response structure also contains only a flexible array. It might be good to add a similar comment in gb_interface_enable(), above this line: manifest = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); The definition of the gb_control_get_manifest_response structure could probably be replaced with a comment.
The response buffer for an I2C transfer consists only of incoming data. There is already a comment in gb_i2c_operation_create() that says this: /* Response consists only of incoming data */ The definition of the gb_i2c_transfer_response structure should then go away, in favor of a comment saying this.
The response buffer for a SPI transfer consists only of incoming data. It is used three times in "driver/staging/greybus/spilib.c": - calc_rx_xfer_size() subtracts the size of the response structure, and that should be replaced by a comment (and the structure definition should go away) - gb_spi_decode_response() takes the response structure as an argument. That could be replaced with a void pointer instead, with a comment. - gb_spi_transfer_one_message() is what passes the response buffer to gb_spi_decode_response(), and could be adjusted to reflect that the response consists only of data--rather than a struct containing only a flexible array.
Kees: I'm *not* asking you to deal with these, I'm just mentioning them to you. My comments above (without someone else confirming) are not sufficient to dictate how to address these.
