    misra: deviate MISRA C Rule 5.5 for hypfs_alloc_dyndata()
    
    MISRA C Rule 5.5 states: "Identifiers shall be distinct from macro
    names".
    
    Update ECLAIR configuration to deviate identifier and macro name
    clashes by specifying the macros that should be ignored.
    This includes hypfs_alloc_dyndata(), where the real function takes
    an allocation size and the same-named macro is a typed convenience
    wrapper that expands calls using sizeof(type).
    
    Update deviations.rst and rules.rst accordingly.
