wifi: ath9k: work around memset overflow warning
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2073765 [ Upstream commit 61752ac ] gcc-9 and some other older versions produce a false-positive warning for zeroing two fields In file included from include/linux/string.h:369, from drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c:18: In function 'fortify_memset_chk', inlined from 'ath9k_ps_wakeup' at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c:140:3: include/linux/fortify-string.h:462:25: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning] 462 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Using a struct_group seems to reliably avoid the warning and not make the code much uglier. The combined memset() should even save a couple of cpu cycles.
