Yeah, I changed that.

But I think even better would be to avoid pointer arightmetic and do something
like this:

struct wmi_p2p_go_set_beacon_ie_cmd {
	__le32 tlv_header;
	__le32 vdev_id;
	__le32 ie_buf_len;
        u8 tlv[];
} __packed;

tlv = cmd->tlv;
tlv->header = ath12k_wmi_tlv_cmd_hdr(WMI_TAG_ARRAY_BYTE,
					     aligned_len);

But that's separate cleanup, I see pointer arithmetic used quite a lot
in wmi.c.
