  • Thread-topic: [PATCH v3 1/3] 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.
