A mouse that uses a USB connection is called a "USB mouse" device (or
"USB mouse" for short), not a "mouse USB" device. By analogy, a WiFi
adapter that connects to the host computer via USB is a "USB wireless"
device, not a "wireless USB" device. (The latter term more properly
refers to a defunct Wireless USB specification, which described a
technology for sending USB protocol messages over an ultra wideband
radio link.)
Similarly for a WiFi adapter card that plugs into a PCIe slot: It is a
"PCIe wireless" device, not a "wireless PCIe" device.
Rephrase the text in the kernel source where the word ordering is
wrong.

Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.
Address the following warning found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-array=3 enabled:
drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.c:2902:23: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘struct ndis_80211_auth_request[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

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.
