When a character array without a terminating NUL character has a static
initializer, GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization will only
warn if the array lacks the "nonstring" attribute[1]. Mark the arrays
with __nonstring to and correctly identify the char array as "not a C
string" and thereby eliminate the warning.

That's not mac80211?

Also, I have no idea how you came up with the CC list but it seems
excessive. :)

Hrm, you're right. The automation I use for splitting up "treewide"
changes per subsystem tries to guess at a reasonable subject give a set
of files, based on historical git subject prefixes. And these two files
ended up grouped together because no more specific subsystem claimed
them.

It seems I should probably split this into two, as:

wifi: zd1211rw:
wifi: virt_wifi:

It's based on my permutation of arguments to get_maintainers.pl that
seems to work best for splitting my "treewide" changes per subsystem:

        ccs = subprocess.run(["./scripts/get_maintainer.pl", "--email",
                              "--git-min-percent", "15",
                              "--git-since", '3-years-ago',
                              "--no-rolestats", patch.name],
