[PATCH] wireless: ath: work around false-positive stringop-overread warning

[PATCH] wireless: ath: work around false-positive stringop-overread warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

In a rare arm64 randconfig build, I got multiple warnings for ath11k
and ath12k:

In function 'ath11k_peer_assoc_h_ht',
    inlined from 'ath11k_peer_assoc_prepare' at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2665:2:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:1709:13: error: 'ath11k_peer_assoc_h_ht_masked' reading 10 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
 1709 |         if (ath11k_peer_assoc_h_ht_masked(ht_mcs_mask))
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This happens whenever gcc-13 fails to inline one of the functions
that take a fixed-length array argument but gets passed a pointer.

Change these functions to all take a regular pointer argument
instead.

s/wireless:/wifi:/ but I can fix that.

In a awat it's a shame to lose the explicit length but I guess there's
no other way to fix this?

Also I hope you find the time to add GCC 13 to crosstool :) Related to
this, last year we had a similar warning with GCC 11 for which I added this
not-so-pretty workaround:

Ok, thanks!

There might be, but I couldn't figure out a way that works.

I uploaded gcc-13.1.0 binaries last week, but still need to
update the html page, so it's not yet linked. You can navigate
the directories from the gcc-12 builds.

Thanks! I was able to find the build[1] but having an issue:

$ ./x86_64-linux-gcc -v

With older GCC versions from your page I don't have this problem. I'm
using Debian 10 still so so is my libc too old?
