The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Current board file loading procedure assumes that the board file
includes only one section.
New board files can include multiple sections.
Add the ability to read multiple addresses and max size from FW
file and load multiple sections from the board file into those
addresses.

New FW which supports multiple virtual interfaces, reports
its allowed interface combinations using a special comment
record in the FW file. The format of the interface combinations
is similar to the kernel wiphy->iface_combinations.
When parsing FW file during module initialization, also parse
and validate the concurrency record, and initialize
wiphy->n_iface_combinations and wiphy->iface_combinations
accordingly.

In order to allow using the same brd file across different
11ad chips, the address for loading the brd file should be
part of the FW file, instead of the brd file. The brd file is
expected to include only one section.
To allow backward compatibility the driver reads the
address from the brd file in case it is not included in the
FW file.

Currently the FW version is taken from the sw_version field
of the FW ready event. This version is based on internal
version control revision and it is difficult to map to actual
FW version.
Fix this by using the actual FW version stored in the FW file
header record.

When driver is loaded, extract a capabilities record
from the FW file. This record contains bits indicating
which optional features are supported by this FW.
The driver can use this information to determine
which functionality to support and/or expose to user
space.
The extraction is done before wiphy structure is
registered, because the capabilities can affect
information published by the this structure.

Firmware download implemented but is still experimental feature;
flag controlling it added, no_fw_load. It is true by default,
use no_fw_load=N to activate feature.
Reset flows also got some adjustment for the fw download to work
