There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use "flexible array members"[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

Also, make use of the struct_size() helper in devm_kzalloc().

Why? It should go to wireless-drivers-next.

Gustavo, so have you dropped this from your tree now? I do not want to
get any conflicts because of this.

I'll reiterate again: do not take any patches touching
drivers/net/wireless unless I have acked them.
