ath9k_reg_rmw_buffer() sizes the WMI command with struct register_write
when it sends a buffer that has filled up, but the buffer holds struct
register_rmw entries, which are 12 bytes rather than 8. The firmware is
handed 120 bytes instead of 180 and applies only the first ten of the
fifteen queued read-modify-writes, silently dropping the rest.
ath9k_reg_rmw_flush() right below it already uses the correct type.
No caller is known to queue the full fifteen entries today, the closest
being ath9k_hw_4k_set_gain() at fourteen, so this is a latent bug rather
than an observed failure.
