wifi: ath10k: Drop of_get_property() call
PATCH 1/1 wifi: ath10k: Drop of_get_property() call
There's no need to check the property presence and length before calling of_property_read_u8_array() as it will return an error if the property is missing or the length is too small. The return errno doesn't matter to the caller, so no change in behavior there.
Change of_property_read_u8_array() to of_property_read_variable_u8_array() as the former allows properties to be longer than the requested length. Now the property has to be the exact length requested as the removed check required.
This part of a larger effort to remove DT functions like of_get_property() and of_find_property() which return raw DT data having no reference counting.

note that there is one instance where .cal_data_len = 0
so i suggest that there still needs to be an early return here to avoid kmalloc(0):
if (!data_len) return -ENOENT;

this could made even cleaner using cleanup.h functionality (all of the gotos could disappear). perhaps I'll do that as a follow-up patch on top of your patch.
