Please print the error code.

Is this needed? I think this more like debug log material than something
we should report to the user.

ath10k_warn("failed to dump debug log area: %d\n", ret);

ath10k_dbg()?

for (i = 0; dbufp > 0; i++)?

Please move to the beginning of the function.

ath10k_dbg()?

I would prefer inverse here to keep the indentation clean, something
like:

if (dbuf.buffer == 0 || dbug.length == 0)
        goto next;

> +			u8 *buffer = kmalloc(dbuf.length, GFP_ATOMIC);

Should we have a maximum for the length so that we don't allocate insane
amounts of memory by accident?

> +			if (buffer) {

Again I would prefer the inverse:

if (!buf)
   break;

I assume there's no sense continuing here if kmalloc fails and better
just bail out.

ath10k_warn("failed to read debug log buffer: %d\n", ret);

Instead of doing atomic allocations multiple times in a loop, would it
be better to allocate just one buffer before the loop and free it
afterwards?

How is the locking handled in this function?
