[PATCH wireless v4 3/3] wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB read from firmware num_msg in TX complete handler

[Tristan Madani]

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The firmware-controlled num_msg field (u8, 0-255) drives the loop in
ath6kl_wmi_tx_complete_event_rx() without validation against the buffer
length. This allows out-of-bounds reads of up to 1020 bytes past the
WMI event buffer when the firmware sends an inflated num_msg.

Add a check that the buffer is large enough to hold the fixed struct
and the num_msg variable-length entries.

Fixes: bdcd81707973 ("Add ath6kl cleaned up driver")
Signed-off-by: Tristan Madani <tristan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
  - Split combined bounds check into two sequential checks to avoid
    overreading evt->num_msg in the error log when the buffer is too
    small for the fixed struct (Jeff Johnson).

Changes in v3:
  - Regenerated from wireless-next with proper git format-patch to
    produce valid index hashes (v2 had post-processed index lines).

Changes in v2:
  - No code changes from v1.
