[PATCH] ath10k: prevent debugfs mmio access crash kernel

It was possible to force an out of bounds MMIO
read/write via debugfs. E.g. on QCA988X this could
be triggered with:

 echo 0x2080e0 | tee /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/*/ath10k/reg_addr
 cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/*/ath10k/reg_value

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90001e080e0
 IP: [<ffffffff8135c860>] ioread32+0x40/0x50
 ...
 Call Trace:
