Yep; this fix is similar to the one for intel_pm.c in this

	commit e7c6e405e171fb33990a12ecfd14e6500d9e5cf2

where the array size of 8 seems to be fine for all the
struct members related (pri_latency, spr_latency, cur_latency
and skl_latency):

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h:465:struct drm_i915_private {
...

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-739-    struct {

...
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-745-            /* primary */
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-746-            u16 pri_latency[5];
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-747-            /* sprite */
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-748-            u16 spr_latency[5];
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-749-            /* cursor */
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-750-            u16 cur_latency[5];
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-751-            /*
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-752-             * Raw watermark memory latency values
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-753-             * for SKL for all 8 levels
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-754-             * in 1us units.
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-755-             */
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-756-            u16 skl_latency[8];

...
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h-773-    } wm;
...
}

however GCC warns about accessing bytes beyond the limits, and turning the
argument declarations into pointers (removing the over-specified array
size from the argument declaration) silence the warnings.
