Subject: [PATCH 1/2][next] wifi: brcmfmac: replace one-element array with
 flexible-array member in struct brcmf_dload_data_le

One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array
member in struct brcmf_dload_data_le.

Important to mention is that doing a build before/after this patch results
in no binary output differences.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally enabling
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].
