Hi all,

Friendly ping: who can review or take this, please? :)

Thanks!

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

Refactor multiple structs that contain flexible-array members in the
middle by replacing them with unions.

These changes preserve the memory layout while effectively adjusting
it so that the flexible-array member is always treated as the last
member.

With these changes, fix a dozen instances of the following type of
warning:

drivers/acpi/nfit/intel.c:692:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Changes in v3:
  - Use union instead of DEFINE_RAW_FLEX().

Changes in v2:
  - Use DEFINE_RAW_FLEX() instead of __struct_group().
