-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Move the conflicting declaration to the end of the structure. Notice
that `struct ieee80211_chanctx_conf` is a flexible structure --a
structure that contains a flexible-array member.

Also, remove a couple of unused structures.

Fix the following warnings:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/core.h:409:39: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/dp.h:1309:24: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/dp.h:1368:24: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

there is something illogical about this since the vif is allocated using
sizeof() and hence there will never be memory allocated for the flexible
array, and it is assigned using either struct assignment or memcpy using the
struct size which (fortunately) would not transfer the flexible array contents:
		arvif->chanctx = *ctx;

		memcpy(&arvif->chanctx, ctx, sizeof(*ctx));

since ath11k doesn't actually use the drv_priv[] I guess this change is OK, it
is just strange to me.

also makes me wonder why ath11k keeps a copy of the chanctx instead of just
getting it from the underlying ieee80211_link_data. but that is outside the
scope of this discussion.

the second part if definitely ok.

Yes; this is why I didn't include a 'Fixes' tag.

In any case, middle-flex-arrays are deprecated and should either be
removed/refactored[1][2] or placed at the very bottom in any nested
structures. :)

Yeah, this doesn't look right. I don't think a driver should be copying
struct ieee80211_chanctx_conf like that. I think I'll add a comment
about this to the code:

/* FIXME: Driver should not copy struct ieee80211_chanctx_conf,
 * especially because it has a flexible array. Find a better way.
 */

Thoughts?
