Thanks for the patch

Acked-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart at linux.intel.com>

I just realized we have additional cases in this directory (interface
between kernel and firmware), I'll send a follow-up patch a

channel_map.h:  int32_t ch_coeffs[0];
channel_map.h:  struct sof_ipc_channel_map ch_map[0];
control.h:              struct sof_ipc_ctrl_value_chan chanv[0];
control.h:              struct sof_ipc_ctrl_value_comp compv[0];
control.h:              struct sof_abi_hdr data[0];
control.h:              struct sof_abi_hdr data[0];
