The issue here seems to be a collision between "unknown array size"
and known sizes:

struct bpf_lpm_trie_key {
        __u32   prefixlen;      /* up to 32 for AF_INET, 128 for AF_INET6 */
        __u8    data[0];        /* Arbitrary size */
};

struct lpm_key {
        struct bpf_lpm_trie_key trie_key;
        __u32 data;
};

This is treating trie_key as a header, which it's not: it's a complete
structure. :)

Perhaps:

struct lpm_key {
        __u32 prefixlen;
        __u32 data;
};

I don't see anything else trying to include bpf_lpm_trie_key.

This looks very similar, a struct of unknown size is being treated as a
header struct:

struct ib_uverbs_create_cq_resp {
        __u32 cq_handle;
        __u32 cqe;
        __aligned_u64 driver_data[0];
};

struct ib_uverbs_ex_create_cq_resp {
        struct ib_uverbs_create_cq_resp base;
        __u32 comp_mask;
        __u32 response_length;
};

And it only gets used here:

                DECLARE_UVERBS_WRITE(IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_CREATE_CQ,
                                     ib_uverbs_create_cq,
                                     UAPI_DEF_WRITE_UDATA_IO(
                                             struct ib_uverbs_create_cq,
                                             struct ib_uverbs_create_cq_resp),
                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                     UAPI_DEF_METHOD_NEEDS_FN(create_cq)),

which must also be assuming it's a header. So probably better to just
drop the driver_data field? I don't see anything using it (that I can
find) besides as a sanity-check that the field exists and is at the end
of the struct.
