After commit e3eac9f32ec0 ("wifi: cfg80211: Annotate struct

dynamic array indexing of req->channels to stay below n_channels. As a
result, n_channels needs to be increased _before_ accessing the newly
added array index. Increment it first, then use "i" for the prior index.
Solves this warning in the coming GCC that has __counted_by support:

../drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c: In function 'brcmf_internal_escan_add_info':
../drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c:3783:46: warning: operation on 'req->
n_channels' may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]
  3783 |                 req->channels[req->n_channels++] = chan;

I'm planning to queue this for wireless tree. Arend, ack?

This slipped past my broadcom email. As the Fixes commit is in 6.7 I would say ACK.

Cc: to stable?
