Subject: [PATCH 0/2] wifi: ath: false-positive fortified-memset warnings

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

While testing some other patch series I worked on across gcc versions, I found
a couple of stringop warnings that only show up with some toolchains but not
others. The warnings I both seem to be false positive.

I have also not found an explanation why both of these happen in atheros
wireless drivers, as I don't see this in other drivers.

Maybe Kees can work out what is going on here.
