From: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org
The batadv_dhcp_packet is used to read in parts of the DHCP packet and extract relevant information for the distributed arp table. But the structure contained the flexible member "options" which is no where used in the code.
A sizeof on this kind of type would return the size of everything except the flexible member. But sparse will detect this kind of sizeof and warn with
warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure
This can be avoided by dropping the unused flexible member.
