In an effort to enable -Wcast-function-type in the top-level Makefile to
support Control Flow Integrity builds, remove all the function callback
casts.

To do this modify the function prototypes accordingly.

Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size instead of the
actual output size, the succeeding calls may go beyond the given
buffer limit.  Fix it by replacing with scnprintf().

<title>staging: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>5979afa2c4d1c8acce28a176ebe27ea13265626a</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Pull staging and IIO updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging/iio driver patches for 5.6-rc1

  Included in here are:

   - lots of new IIO drivers and updates for that subsystem

   - the usual huge quantity of minor cleanups for staging drivers

   - removal of the following staging drivers:
       - isdn/avm
       - isdn/gigaset
       - isdn/hysdn
       - octeon-usb
       - octeon ethernet

  Overall we deleted far more lines than we added, removing over 40k of
  old and obsolete driver code.

  All of these changes have been in linux-next for a while with no
