[PATCH] brcmfmac: fix wrong strnchr usage

[Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>]

strnchr takes arguments in the order of its name: string, max bytes to
read, character to search for. Here we're passing '\n' aka 10 as the
buffer size, and searching for sizeof(buf) aka BRCMF_DCMD_SMLEN aka
256 (aka '\0', since it's implicitly converted to char) within those 10
bytes.

Just interchanging the last two arguments would still leave a bug,
because if we've been successful once, there are not sizeof(buf)
characters left after the new value of p.

Since clmver is immediately afterwards passed as a %s argument, I assume
that it is actually a properly nul-terminated string. For that case, we
have strreplace().

Incidentally, I found this because I was looking at our strnchr
implementation and noticed a corner case: strchr() is specified by C and
POSIX standards to consider the trailing '\0' to be part of the string,
so strchr(foo, '\0') must be equivalent to "foo +
strlen(foo)". strnchr() is not specified by anyone. Our implementation
returns NULL as soon as count is depleted or hitting a '\0' byte, so
since we were here looking for a '\0' byte, the first strnchr() call was
guaranteed to return NULL.

Had strnchr() instead returned a pointer to the '\0' if such was found
within the first count (in this case 10) bytes, we'd be overwriting that
with a ' ', and continue until no '\0' was found within the next 10
bytes.
