Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: pcie: properly configure the debug buffer size for
8000

8000 device family has a new debug engine that needs to be configured differently than 7000's.
The debug engine's DMA works in chunks of memory and the size of the buffer really means the start of the last chunk. Since one chunk is 256-byte long, we should configure the device to write to buffer_size - 256. This fixes a situation were the device would write to memory it is not allowed to access.
