Hi all,
When building the kernel with Clang, this warning comes up in net/phonet.

I have taken a look at the effected code but I can't really figure out
the proper fix for this warning (my knowledge of C just isn't there
yet). Nick had suggested changing 'u8 data[1]' to 'u8 *data' in
'struct pnpipehdr', which seems logical but I can't say for sure. Any
advice would be appreciated :)
Thanks,
Nathan
