wifi: ath10k: use flexible array in struct wmi_tdls_peer_capabilities

Browse source

Currently struct wmi_tdls_peer_capabilities defines:
	struct wmi_channel peer_chan_list[1];

Per the guidance in [1] this should be a flexible array, and at one
point Gustavo was trying to fix this [2], but had questions about the
correct behavior when the associated peer_chan_len is 0.

I have been unable to determine if firmware requires that at least one
record be present even if peer_chan_len is 0. But since that is the
current behavior, follow the example from [3] and replace the
one-element array with a union that contains both a flexible array and
a single instance of the array element. This results in a struct that
has the same footprint as the original, so no other driver changes are
required.

No functional changes, compile tested only.
