Since commit df8fc4e934c1 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3"),
UBSAN_BOUNDS no longer pretends 1-element arrays are unbounded. Walking
bmSublinkSpeedAttr will trigger a warning, so make it a proper flexible
array. Add a union to keep the struct size identical for userspace in
case anything was depending on the old size.

False positive warning was:

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/usb/host/xhci-hub.c:231:31 index 1 is out of range for type '__le32 [1]'

for this line of code:

ssp_cap->bmSublinkSpeedAttr[offset++] = cpu_to_le32(attr);
