mwifiex_sdio_fw_dump() reads the number of memory regions (dump_num) from
a device register and uses it to index the static 15-entry
mem_type_mapping_tbl[] without any bounds check. A bogus device can
report a dump_num larger than the table, making each loop iteration
store a vmalloc pointer and a device-controlled size past the end
of the table into adjacent .data (up to ~5.7KB when dump_num is 255).
The dump path runs after command timeouts or firmware crashes, so a
bogus device can first force an error to trigger the dump and
then report a bogus dump_num.
Aborting the dump only loses the firmware snapshot; the card reset
that follows is unaffected, so error recovery still completes.
