Command WMI_FORCE_FW_HANG_CMDID is not supported in firmware 10.1.
In order to have firmware crash simulation functionality also
in firmware 10.1 driver can force firmware crash by performing
not allowed operation. Driver can deliberately crash firmware
when setting vdev param for vdev id out of range.
This patch introduces two keywords to simulate_fw_crash:
'soft' which will cause firmware crash that is recoverable
by warm firmware reset but supported only in main firmware.
'hard' which will cause firmware crash recoverable by cold
firmware reset, this option works for both firmwares.
Commands to trigger firmware soft/hard crash:
echo 'soft' > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/ath10k/simulate_fw_crash
echo 'hard' > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/ath10k/simulate_fw_crash

This was patch: ath10k:change simulate_fw_crash to work with 10.1 firmware
but after review updates I changed commit message.
Previous patch was updated to support two keywords 'soft','hard' in order to
distinguish different kind of firmware crashes.

Ouch, how did I miss use of strcmp() here. Is it guaranteed that buf is
properly null terminated? I don't see that. And even if it would be,
strncmp() would be much safer anyway.

It's pretty ugly to check for both "foo" and "foo\n". This
would be cleaner:
if (buf[count - 1] == '\n') {
buf[count - 1] = 0;
count--;
}
That way you can also get rid of the mode variable.

Add a small comment here explaining that you are using too large vdev id
or something like that.

The info message is too late now, it should before the we crash the
firmware.
