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:

This might throw-off people here. The reason this works is because carl9170_cmd struct
looks like this:
|
|struct carl9170_cmd {
| struct carl9170_cmd_head hdr; <-- 4 bytes
| union {
| struct carl9170_set_key_cmd setkey;
| [...]
| struct carl9170_rx_filter_cmd rx_filter;
| u8 data[CARL9170_MAX_CMD_PAYLOAD_LEN]; <---- that's 60 bytes
| } __packed __aligned(4);
|} __packed __aligned(4);
All commands have to fit into the command endpoint max size which is 64 bytes.
