A proper struct is preferred over pointer arithmetic. For example
something like this:

struct ath11k_smbios_bdf {
        struct dmi_header hdr;
        u32 padding;
        u8 bdf_enabled;
        u8 bdf_ext[ATH11K_SMBIOS_BDF_EXT_MAX_LEN];
}

I'm not sure if I got the offsets right, but I hope you get the idea
anyway.

What if bdf_ext is not null terminated? Wouldn't strnlen() with
ATH11K_SMBIOS_BDF_EXT_MAX_LEN would be safer?

Please don't mix defines and function declarations, so move defines up
in the file.
