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?

mmh... not sure about this. It would basically mean reverting this commit:
