GCC-12 warns when a pointer of type union points to an array of same
defined size, as union internally gets paded with pad bytes.
../examples/common/neon/port_group.h:42:21: error: array subscript
'union <anonymous>[0]' is partly outside array bounds of
'uint16_t[5]' {aka 'short unsigned int[5]'}
[-Werror=array-bounds]
42 | pnum->u64 = gptbl[v].pnum;
| ^~
../examples/common/neon/port_group.h:21:23: note: object 'pn' of
size [0, 10]
21 | port_groupx4(uint16_t pn[FWDSTEP + 1], uint16_t *lp, uint16x8_t dp1
