From 2ae5c9248e06dac2c2360be26b4e25f673238337 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Johnson Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2023 11:22:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Use flexible array in struct ieee80211_tim_ie Currently struct ieee80211_tim_ie defines: u8 virtual_map[1]; Per the guidance in [1] change this to be a flexible array. Per the discussion in [2] wrap the virtual_map in a union with a u8 item in order to preserve the existing expectation that the virtual_map must contain at least one octet (at least when used in a non-S1G PPDU). This means that no driver changes are required.
