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

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].

This results in no differences in binary output.

Sorry for blast from the past, but I have a question here.

This change seems converts many of the flexible arrays in this driver.
But what's behind this one?

struct host_cmd_ds_802_11_scan_ext {
        u32   reserved;
        u8    tlv_buffer[1];
} __packed;


AFAIU this needs also some care. On the real machine I have got this

elo 16 17:51:58 surfacebook kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------
elo 16 17:51:58 surfacebook kernel: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 243) of single field "ext_scan->tlv_buffer" at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:2239 (size 1)
elo 16 17:51:58 surfacebook kernel: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 498 at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:2239 mwifiex_cmd_802_11_scan_ext+0x83/0x90 [mwifiex]

which leads to

        memcpy(ext_scan->tlv_buffer, scan_cfg->tlv_buf, scan_cfg->tlv_buf_len);

but the code allocates 2k or more for the command buffer, so this seems
quite enough for 243 bytes.

Thank you for the prompt respond! Can you send it as a formal patch?
Or do you want me to test it first? (If the second one, it might take
weeks as this is my home laptop that I don't reboot too often. I think
it's can be sent anyway.)
