If the user tries to write more than 32 bytes then it results in memory
corruption. Fortunately, this is debugfs so it's limitted to root users.

I've fixed this in the 'pending' branch: WARNING:TYPO_SPELLING: 'limitted' may be misspelled - perhaps 'limited'? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ath/ath.git/commit/?h=pending&id=b49ee0380e07efa34bdc4b012df22842b7fe2825 /jeff
