This is at least slightly worrying to me.  If I were calling this
function, I'd expect that if I didn't get back an error that at least
"arg->service_map_ext_len" was filled in.  Seems like you should do:

case WMI_TLV_TAG_FIRST_ARRAY_ENUM:
  arg->service_map_ext_len = 0;
  arg->service_map_ext = NULL;
  return 0;

...and maybe add a comment about why you're doing that?

At the moment things are working OK because
ath10k_wmi_event_service_available() happens to init the structure to
0 before calling with:

  struct wmi_svc_avail_ev_arg arg = {};

....but it doesn't seem like a great idea to rely on that.

That all being said, I'm just a drive-by reviewer and if everyone else
likes it the way it is, feel free to ignore my comments.
