The root cause of the problem is that the comparison order of
"prate_section" in _rtl8812ae_phy_set_txpower_limit() is wrong. The
_rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte() is used to compare the first n bytes of the two
strings from tail to head, which causes the problem. In the
_rtl8812ae_phy_set_txpower_limit(), it was originally intended to meet
this requirement by carefully designing the comparison order.
For example, "pregulation" and "pbandwidth" are compared in order of
length from small to large, first is 3 and last is 4. However, the
comparison order of "prate_section" dose not obey such order requirement,
therefore when "prate_section" is "HT", when comparing from tail to head,
it will lead to access out of bounds in _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte(). As
mentioned above, the _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte() has the same function as
strcmp(), so just strcmp() is enough.
Fix it by replacing _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte() with strcmp(). Although it
can be fixed by adjusting the comparison order of "prate_section", this
may cause the value of "rate_section" to not be from 0 to 5. In
addition, commit "21e4b0726dc6" not only moved driver from staging to
regular tree, but also added setting txpower limit function during the
driver config phase, so the problem was introduced by this commit.

v1 was posted at: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221207152319.3135500-1-lizetao1@xxxxxxxxxx/
v1 -> v2: delete the third parameter of _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte() and use
strcmp to replace loop comparison.
