PATCH 1/1 wifi: rtw89: coex: Annotate struct rtw89_btc_btf_set_slot_table with __counted_by

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions).

As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct rtw89_btc_btf_set_slot_table.

This struct isn't defined properly. It should be

struct rtw89_btc_btf_set_slot_table {
	u8 fver;
	u8 tbl_num;
	struct rtw89_btc_fbtc_slot tbl[] __counted_by(tbl_num);
} __packed;

And, we should modify rtw89_btc_fw_set_slots() as well.

Another struct 'rtw89_btc_btf_set_mon_reg' has similar problem.

So, NACK this patch. I will prepare one or two patches for them next week.

By the way, I have question about __counted_by(). Can I apply it to little/big- endian 'num'? Like

struct foo {
	...
	__le32 num;
	__le32 data[] __counted_by(num);
}

Unfortunately not yet. I hope to see it extended in the future to allow for arbitrary expressions. For this first step, it only handles native sizes.
