[ Upstream commit 7a8e9cdf94 ]
Using the address operator on the array doesn't work:
./include/linux/seq_buf.h:27:27: error: initialization of ‘char *’
from incompatible pointer type ‘char (*)[128]’
[-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
27 | .buffer = &__ ## NAME ## _buffer, \
| ^
Apart from fixing that, we can improve DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() by using a
compound literal to define the buffer array without attaching a name
to it. This makes the macro a single statement, allowing constructs
such as:
static DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(my_seq_buf, MYSB_SIZE);
to work as intended.
