I noticed some of the other structs here aren't flexible arrays, so it
made me go take a look at these ones. I see that the only user of struct
hci_cp_le_set_ext_adv_data uses a fixed-size array:

struct {
struct hci_cp_le_set_ext_adv_data cp;
u8 data[HCI_MAX_EXT_AD_LENGTH];
} pdu;

Let's just change this from a flex array to a fixed-size array?

Same for this one:

struct {
struct hci_cp_le_set_ext_scan_rsp_data cp;
u8 data[HCI_MAX_EXT_AD_LENGTH];
} pdu;

And this one. :P

struct {
struct hci_cp_le_set_per_adv_data cp;
u8 data[HCI_MAX_PER_AD_LENGTH];
} pdu;

This one isn't as obvious, so I'd say keep your changes for this one.

Yeah, this loop never leaves early, and if it did, it processing the
array forward, so having num_cis reduced during the loop iteration
doesn't make sense. What you have looks right to me!

These become much easier, just:

struct hci_cp_le_set_ext_scan_rsp_data cp = { };

etc...
