During hardware validation of the AIC8800D80 SDIO chipset on real
silicon (Radxa Cubie A5E with Allwinner T527 SoC running Linux 7.1),
unpacking the BT patch table (fw_patch_table_8800d80_u02.bin) caused a
kernel stack protector panic:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted
  in: aicbt_patch_trap_data_load+0xe4/0x110 [aic8800_bsp]

`aicbt_patch_info_unpack()` calculated copy length as:
  patch_info->info_len * sizeof(uint32_t) * 2

When reading `fw_patch_table_8800d80_u02.bin`, `info_len` resulted in a
memcpy size exceeding the remaining bounds of the stack-allocated struct
`struct aicbt_patch_info_t patch_info`, overflowing by 4+ bytes.

Fix this by adding explicit bounds checking to `memcpy` in
`aicbt_patch_info_unpack()`, capping `copy_len` to `sizeof(struct
aicbt_patch_info_t) - sizeof(patch_info->info_len)`.

* [PATCH RFC v2 2/2] wifi: aic: update cfg80211 API compatibility for modern kernels

Fixes modern kernel API compilation differences in `aic8800_fdrv`:

1. `netif_rx_ni` was removed in Linux 5.18+. Provide compatibility macro
   in `rwnx_compat.h` mapping to `netif_rx`.
2. `cfg80211_probe_status` parameter count was updated in Linux 6.0+.
   Wrap `cfg80211_probe_status` invocation with `LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6, 0, 0)`.
3. `remain_on_channel` callback signature in `struct cfg80211_ops` dropped
   `rx_addr` in Linux 6.5+. Wrap signature definition for Linux 6.5+.

Please don't send patches upstream when the driver doesn't exist there.
