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]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The nvram files which some brcmfmac chips need are board-specific. To be
able to distribute these as part of linux-firmware, so that devices with
such a wifi chip will work OOTB, multiple (one per board) versions must
co-exist under /lib/firmware.
This commit adds support for callers of the brcmfmac/firmware.c code to
pass in a board_type parameter through the request structure.
If that parameter is set then the code will first try to load
chipmodel.board_type.txt before falling back to the old chipmodel.txt name.

The function brcmf_fw_alloc_request() takes a list of required files
and allocated the struct brcmf_fw_request instance accordingly. The
request can be modified by the caller before being passed to the
brcmf_fw_request_firmwares() function.

Extend the parameters in the firmware callback so it can be called
upon success and failure. This allows the caller to properly clear
all resources in the failure path. Right now the error code is
always zero, ie. success.

With gcc < 4.3 __UNIQUE_ID does not create unique ids with the macro
BRCMF_FW_NVRAM_DEF. Fix this by removing the MODULE_FIRMWARE instance
for the nvram file. This file is not in linux-firmware repo so it may
not be needed anyway. Otherwise consider this as a temporary fix.

All bus drivers (sdio, usb and pcie) require firmware files which
needs to be downloaded to the device, The definitions and mapping
of device id and revision to firmware and nvram file is done by
each bus driver. This patch creates common functions and defines
to simplify and unify the definition of these firmware and nvram
files and mapping.
