-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of multiple other structs, we use the `__struct_group()`
helper to create new tagged structures with the suffix `_hdr`.
These structures group together all the members of the original
flexible structures except the flexible arrays.
As a result, the arrays are effectively separated from the rest of the
members without modifying the memory layout of the flexible structures.
We then change the type of the middle struct members currently causing
trouble from the original flex struct to the newly created structs with
suffix `_hdr`.
We also want to ensure that when new members need to be added to the
flexible structures, they are always included within the newly created
tagged structs. For this, we use `static_assert()`. This ensures that the
memory layout for both the flexible structure and the new tagged struct
is the same after any changes.
This approach avoids having to implement the `_hdr` structures as
completely separate structures, thus preventing having to maintain
two independent but basically identical structures, closing the door
to potential bugs in the future.
We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible-array
member, if necessary.
Also, remove a couple of unused zero-length arrays and flexible-array
members.
So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:

First set of patches for 5.3, but not that many patches this time.
This pull request fails to compile with the tip tree due to
ktime_get_boot_ns() API changes there. It should be easy for Linus to
fix it in p54 driver once he pulls this, an example resolution here:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190625160432.533aa140@canb.auug.org.au
Major changes:
airo
* switch to use skcipher interface
p54
* support boottime in scan results
rtw88
* add fast xmit support
* add random mac address on scan support
rt2x00
* add software watchdog to detect hangs, it's disabled by default

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. This driver was saving the debugfs file away to be
removed at a later time. However, the 80211 core would delete the whole
directory that the debugfs files are created in, after it asks the
driver to do the deletion, so just rely on the 80211 core to do all of
the cleanup for us, making us not need to keep a pointer to the dentries
around at all.
This cleans up the structure of the driver data a bit and makes the code
a tiny bit smaller.
