[PATCH v2][next] ALSA: firewire-lib: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Mon Mar 25 2024 - 21:59:43 EST


Use the `DEFINE_FLEX()` helper for an on-stack definition of a
flexible structure where the size of the flexible-array member
is known at compile-time, and refactor the rest of the code,
accordingly.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:
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]
