Sorry? I absolutely see nothing tricky there. Do you think this would look 
"less tricky" to you:

	switch (dev->fw.hdr_format) {
	case B43_FW_HDR_410:
	case B43_FW_HDR_351:
		rxhdr_size = offsetof(struct b43_rxhdr_fw4,
					format_351) +
			sizeof(rxhdr_size->format_351);
		break;
	case B43_FW_HDR_598:
		rxhdr_size = sizeof(*rxhdr);
		break;
	}

?
