+Subject: [PATCH] arpd: use designated initializers for msghdr structure
+
+This patch fixes the following error:
+
+arpd.c:442:17: error: initialization of 'int' from 'void *' makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
+ 442 | NULL, 0,
+
+raised by Buildroot autobuilder [1].
+
+In the case in question, the analysis of socket.h [2] containing the
+msghdr structure shows that it has been modified with the addition of
+padding fields, which cause the compilation error. The use of designated
+initializers allows the issue to be fixed.
+
