This struct isn't defined properly. It should be

struct rtw89_btc_btf_set_slot_table {
u8 fver;
u8 tbl_num;
struct rtw89_btc_fbtc_slot tbl[] __counted_by(tbl_num);
} __packed;

And, we should modify rtw89_btc_fw_set_slots() as well.

Another struct 'rtw89_btc_btf_set_mon_reg' has similar problem.

So, NACK this patch. I will prepare one or two patches for them next week.

By the way, I have question about __counted_by(). Can I apply it to little/big-
endian 'num'? Like

struct foo {
...
__le32 num;
__le32 data[] __counted_by(num);
}
