GCC (and Clang)[1] does not like having a partially allocated object, since it cannot reason about it for bounds checking. Instead, fully allocate struct carl9170_cmd. Fix the following warnings Seen under GCC 13: drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:125:30: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[4]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:126:30: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[4]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:125:30: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[20]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:126:30: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[20]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:161:12: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[20]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:162:12: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[20]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:163:12: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[20]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:164:12: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[20]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:125:30: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[8]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:126:30: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[8]’ [-Warray-bounds=] drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:220:12: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[8]’ [-Warray-bounds=] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/268 Link: godbolt.org/z/KP97sxh3T [1] Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
