The trailing array member of struct tx_buf was defined as a 1-element
array, but used as a flexible array. This was resulting in build warnings:
In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
inlined from 'memset_io' at /kisskb/src/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h:486:2,
inlined from 'build_auth_frame' at /kisskb/src/drivers/net/wireless/legacy/ray_cs.c:2697:2:
/kisskb/src/include/linux/fortify-string.h:493:25: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning:
detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
493 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Replace it with an actual flexible array. Binary difference comparison
shows a single change in output:
│ drivers/net/wireless/legacy/ray_cs.c:883
│ lea 0x1c(%rbp),%r13d
│ - cmp $0x7c3,%r13d
│ + cmp $0x7c4,%r13d
This is from:
if (len + TX_HEADER_LENGTH > TX_BUF_SIZE) {
specifically:
#define TX_BUF_SIZE (2048 - sizeof(struct tx_msg))
This appears to have been originally buggy, so the change is correct.

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the old drivers drivers left in the
directory to a new "legacy" directory. I did consider adding
CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_LEGACY like other vendors have but then dropped the idea as
these are really old drivers and hopefully we get to remove them soon.
There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving files.
