s/wireless:/wifi:/ but I can fix that.

In a awat it's a shame to lose the explicit length but I guess there's
no other way to fix this?

Also I hope you find the time to add GCC 13 to crosstool :) Related to
this, last year we had a similar warning with GCC 11 for which I added this
not-so-pretty workaround:

abf93f369419 wifi: ath11k: mac: fix reading 16 bytes from a region of size 0 warning
