  I splitted up the patch into two parts and committed only
the FE parts which were already approved and the tests.
This solves one of the two issues.

Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.


    Less warnings for parameters declared as arrays [PR98536]
    
    To avoid false positivies, tune the warnings for parameters declared
    as arrays with size expressions.  Do not warn when more bounds are
    specified in the declaration than before.
    
            PR c/98536
    
            c-family/
            * c-warn.cc (warn_parm_array_mismatch): Do not warn if more
            bounds are specified.
    
            gcc/testsuite:
            * gcc.dg/Wvla-parameter-4.c: Adapt test.
            * gcc.dg/attr-access-2.c: Adapt test.
