Commit 1e6b251ce175 ("crypto: nx - Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning") introduced tagged `struct nx842_crypto_header_hdr`. We want to ensure that when new members need to be added to the flexible structure, they are always included within this tagged struct.
So, we use `static_assert()` to ensure that the memory layout for both the flexible structure and the tagged struct is the same after any changes. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
