Thanks for the fix.

A more robust solution would be:

--- a/drivers/mmc/core/slot-gpio.c
+++ b/drivers/mmc/core/slot-gpio.c
@@ -27,8 +27,8 @@ struct mmc_gpio {
bool override_cd_active_level;
irqreturn_t (*cd_gpio_isr)(int irq, void *dev_id);
char *ro_label;
- char cd_label[0];
u32 cd_debounce_delay_ms;
+ char cd_label[];
};

This way if someone tries to rearrange the struct members in the
future, then GCC will complain with the following error:
error: flexible array member not at end of struct

Please see a158531f3c92 ("gpio: 74x164: Fix crash during .remove()")
which provides a nice explanation for this same kind of problem.

Then you can add:
