GCC 12 says:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/mac.c: In function ‘ath9k_hw_resettxqueue’:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/mac.c:373:22: warning: array subscript 32 is above array bounds of ‘struct ath9k_tx_queue_info[10]’ [-Warray-bounds]
  373 |         qi = &ah->txq[q];
      |               ~~~~~~~^~~

I don't know where it got the 32 from, relegate the warning to W=1+.

There are now four wireless drivers which need this hack. Wouldn't it be
easier to add -Wno-array-bounds for GCC 12 globally instead of adding
the same hack to multiple drivers?

I mean.. it's definitely a hack, I'm surprised more people aren't
complaining. Kees was against disabling it everywhere, AFAIU:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/202204201117.F44DCF9@keescook/

WiFi is a bit unfortunate but we only have 3 cases in the rest of
networking so it's not _terribly_ common.

IDK, I'd love to not see all the warnings every time someone touches
netdevice.h :( I made a note to remove the workaround once GCC 12 gets
its act together, that's the best I could come up with.

Wasn't Kees objecting of disabling array-bounds for all GCC versions?
That I understand, but I'm merely suggesting to disable the warning only
on GCC 12 until the compiler is fixed or the drivers are fixed.

Ok, fair enough. I'm just worried these will be left lingering for a
long time and do more harm than good :)

I finally tracked this down to a GCC 12 bug related to -fsanitize=shift:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105679

Basically all the "32" stuff comes from the index being used in a shift,
and the resulting internal GCC logic blowing up.

I was going to do a before/after build with and without -fsanitize=shift
to see how many of these false positives originate from that bug...
