The build fails with:

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c: In function 'ice_aq_alloc_free_vsi_list':
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c:1816:23: error: implicit declaration of function '__struct_size'; did you mean 
'struct_size'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  1816 |         u16 buf_len = __struct_size(sw_buf);
       |                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
       |                       struct_size

This can be fixed by reverting commits:

"overflow: Change DEFINE_FLEX to take __counted_by member" a5c50a3af39c74eef1a15c39924b0e1f4c6a43a6

"ice: make use of DEFINE_FLEX() in ice_switch.c" 858a287aeaf8a690fd3c769e0ee2247f40e44b62

Unfortunately, the Bluetooth commits have to be reverted also (because they depend on "overflow: Change DEFINE_FLEX to take 
__counted_by member").

"Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix advertising data UAFs" 50d4431fab38c15c9ef405b6c7e13c0491f29928

"Bluetooth: eir: Fix possible crashes on eir_create_adv_data" c4fedbbb5b925228321a359b8a3949b207cc0a62

"Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix not handling hdev->le_num_of_adv_sets=1" cf931b0c0a6a5b8b70da339101c0df17cc068488

"Bluetooth: hci_conn, hci_sync: Use __counted_by() to avoid -Wfamnae warnings" 88dd9093e398c68467d8e9c8b7fb630aab05be05
