Wireless RNDIS USB is a new-style CFG80211 driver for 802.11b and
802.11g USB hardware from around 2004 to 2006. This makes it more modern
than any of the others, but Kalle already classified it as "legacy"
in commit 298e50ad8eb8f ("wifi: move raycs, wl3501 and rndis_wlan to
legacy directory").
Jussi Kivilinna worked on this driver between 2008 and 2012, and it has
only seen cosmetic updates after that.

Planet WL3501 is another PCMCIA driver for pre-802.11b interfaces
(2Mbit/s) with incomplete CFG80211 support.
This was marked as orphaned in 2017 but has been unmaintained
for a long time before that.

Aviator/Raytheon is an early PCMCIA driver, apparently predating 802.11b
and only supporting wireless extensions.
The driver has been orphaned since 2010 and only seen cosmetic updates
long before than. Jean Tourrilhes pointed out in a 2005 changelog that
he tested a change on actual hardware, which was apparently already
noteworthy back then.

A mouse that uses a USB connection is called a "USB mouse" device (or
"USB mouse" for short), not a "mouse USB" device. By analogy, a WiFi
adapter that connects to the host computer via USB is a "USB wireless"
device, not a "wireless USB" device. (The latter term more properly
refers to a defunct Wireless USB specification, which described a
technology for sending USB protocol messages over an ultra wideband
radio link.)
Similarly for a WiFi adapter card that plugs into a PCIe slot: It is a
"PCIe wireless" device, not a "wireless PCIe" device.
Rephrase the text in the kernel source where the word ordering is
wrong.

The trailing array member of struct tx_buf was defined as a 1-element
array, but used as a flexible array. This was resulting in build warnings:
In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
inlined from 'memset_io' at /kisskb/src/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h:486:2,
inlined from 'build_auth_frame' at /kisskb/src/drivers/net/wireless/legacy/ray_cs.c:2697:2:
/kisskb/src/include/linux/fortify-string.h:493:25: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning:
detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
493 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Replace it with an actual flexible array. Binary difference comparison
shows a single change in output:
│ drivers/net/wireless/legacy/ray_cs.c:883
│ lea 0x1c(%rbp),%r13d
│ - cmp $0x7c3,%r13d
│ + cmp $0x7c4,%r13d
This is from:
if (len + TX_HEADER_LENGTH > TX_BUF_SIZE) {
specifically:
#define TX_BUF_SIZE (2048 - sizeof(struct tx_msg))
This appears to have been originally buggy, so the change is correct.

GCC 12.2 with W=1 warns:
drivers/net/wireless/legacy/ray_cs.c:630:17: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 32 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
The driver uses SSID as a string which is just wrong, it should be treated as a
byte array instead. But as the driver is ancient and most likely there are no
users so convert it to use strscpy(). This makes sure that the string is
NUL-terminated and also the warning is fixed.

The ray_config uses ray_release as its unified error handling function.
However, it does not know if local->sram/rmem/amem succeeds or not.
Fix this by adding sanity check on local->sram/rmem/amem in the
ray_relase.

In ray_detach, it and its child function ray_release both call
del_timer(_sync) on the same timer.
Fix this by removing the del_timer_sync in the ray_detach, and revising
the del_timer to del_timer_sync.

Should ray_config() fail, some resources need to be released as already
done in the remove function.
While at it, remove a useless and erroneous comment. The probe is
ray_probe(), not ray_attach().

Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.
Address the following warning found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-array=3 enabled:
drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.c:2902:23: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘struct ndis_80211_auth_request[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the old drivers drivers left in the
directory to a new "legacy" directory. I did consider adding
CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_LEGACY like other vendors have but then dropped the idea as
these are really old drivers and hopefully we get to remove them soon.
There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving files.
