Subject: ath10k: fix out of bounds access to local buffer

From: Michael Mera <dev@michaelmera.com>


[ Upstream commit a16703aaeaedec7a8bee5be5522c7c3e75478951 ]

During write to debugfs file simulate_fw_crash, fixed-size local buffer
'buf' is accessed and modified at index 'count-1', where 'count' is the
size of the write (so potentially out of bounds).
This patch fixes this problem.
