[PATCH 2/2][next] ALSA: firewire-lib: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.

There is currently a local structure `template` that is using a flexible
`struct fw_iso_packet` as a header for an on-stack array
`__be32 header[CIP_HEADER_QUADLETS];`.

struct {
struct fw_iso_packet params;
__be32 header[CIP_HEADER_QUADLETS];
} template = { {0}, {0} };

However, we are deprecating flexible arrays in the middle of another
struct. So, in order to avoid this, we use the `struct_group_tagged()`
helper to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in
the flexible structure:

struct fw_iso_packet {
struct_group_tagged(fw_iso_packet_hdr, hdr,
... the rest of the members
);
u32 header[]; /* tx: Top of 1394 isoch. data_block */
};

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 {
struct fw_iso_packet_hdr params;
__be32 header[CIP_HEADER_QUADLETS];
} template = { {0}, {0} };

We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:

sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c: In function ‘process_rx_packets’:
sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c:1184:46: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
1184 | struct fw_iso_packet params;
|
