Replace deprecated one-element arrays with flexible array members.
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE reports the following warning when
one-element arrays are used as variable-length buffers:

sta_cmd.c:1033 mwifiex_sta_prepare_cmd
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 84) of single field
"domain->triplet" at .../marvell/mwifiex/sta_cmd.c:1033 (size 3)

Convert affected structs to use flexible array members.
- Preserve existing wire layouts.
- Replace affected uses of sizeof(member) with sizeof(type).
- Replace unions containing one-element arrays with
  u8 flexible arrays, and document the stored parameter-set type.

Tested-on: WRT3200ACM, OpenWrt
