Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: brcmfmac: Replace 1-element arrays with flexible arrays

Since commit 2d47c6956ab3 ("ubsan: Tighten UBSAN_BOUNDS on GCC"),
UBSAN_BOUNDS no longer pretends 1-element arrays are unbounded. Walking
'element' and 'channel_list' will trigger warnings, so make them proper
flexible arrays.

False positive warnings were:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c:6984:20
  index 1 is out of range for type '__le32 [1]'

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c:1126:27
  index 1 is out of range for type '__le16 [1]'

for these lines of code:

  6884  ch.chspec = (u16)le32_to_cpu(list->element[i]);

  1126  params_le->channel_list[i] = cpu_to_le16(chanspec);

v2:
  - Use element[] instead of DFA() in brcmf_chanspec_list.
  - Add Cc: stable tag
