Wrong place for rxbaddr/txbaddr to be in struct ath12k_spt_info

Hi there,

Looking into a problem we have on an ath12k platform at work with a colleague,
I stumbled upon something that seems weird.

The interresting parts of dh.h:

struct ath12k_spt_info {
	dma_addr_t paddr;
	u64 *vaddr;
	struct ath12k_rx_desc_info *rxbaddr[ATH12K_NUM_RX_SPT_PAGES];
	struct ath12k_tx_desc_info *txbaddr[ATH12K_NUM_TX_SPT_PAGES];
};

...

struct ath12k_dp {
	struct ath12k_base *ab;
	...
	struct ath12k_spt_info *spt_info;
	u32 num_spt_pages;
	u32 rx_ppt_base;
	...
};

In dp.c we have ath12k_dp_cc_desc_init that allocs arrays of ath12k_rx_desc_info
stores the addresses of the individual desc in each of the spt entries using
ath12k_dp_cc_get_desc_addr_ptr(), but we also save the address of the whole
array for later cleanup by dp->spt_info->rxbaddr[i] = &rx_descs[0];

Surely this is wrong, with the current code we always use the first element of
dp->spt_info to store all the descriptors arrays. And the same goes for txbaddr.
I mean it works, but we loose memory for no purpose & make this part of the
driver harder to understand.

It should be something like:

Right ?
