[PATCH 08/11] atmel: avoid gcc -Wstringop-overflow warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Mar 22 2021 - 12:06:08 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

gcc-11 notices that the fields as defined in the ass_req_format
structure do not match the actual use of that structure:

cc1: error: writing 4 bytes into a region of size between 18446744073709551613 and 2 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c:2884:20: note: at offset [4, 6] into destination object ‘ap’ of size 6
2884 | u8 ap[ETH_ALEN]; /* nothing after here directly accessible */
| ^~
drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c:2885:20: note: at offset [4, 6] into destination object ‘ssid_el_id’ of size 1
2885 | u8 ssid_el_id;
| ^~~~~~~~~~

This is expected here because the actual structure layout is variable.
As the code does not actually access the individual fields, replace
them with a comment and fixed-length array so prevent gcc from
complaining about it.
