Tentative patch for broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271 driver for Linux 6.5-rc1

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030978

Applies on top of all the patches applied to broadcom-wl-dkms 6.30.223.271-36 on Arch Linux

On Linux 6.5, due to commit 2d47c6956ab3 ("ubsan: Tighten UBSAN_BOUNDS
on GCC"), flexible trailing arrays declared like `whatever_t foo[1];`
will generate warnings when CONFIG_UBSAN & co. is enabled, such as:

    UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/build/amd64/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:1919:4
    index 2 is out of range for type 'ether_addr [1]'
    CPU: 8 PID: 131 Comm: kworker/8:1 Tainted: P OE [...]
    Hardware name: [...]
    Workqueue: ipv6_addrconf addrconf_dad_work
    Call Trace:

This was technically always wrong, but was detected now because of the
commit above, and because Ubuntu 23.04 enables CONFIG_UBSAN by default.
Thanks to Satadru Pramanik for the heads-up & report.

Migrate them to the standard C99 syntax `whatever_t foo[];` to fix it.
(Quite a few trailing one-element arrays remain unchanged, either
because they are never used, or never accessed past the first element)
