[PATCH] MIPS: boot/compressed: Use array reference for image bounds

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Mar 09 2022 - 13:50:41 EST


As done with other image addresses in other architectures, use an
explicit flexible array instead of "address of char", which can trip
bounds checking done by the compiler. Found when building with
-Warray-bounds:
