The firmware version read from the firmware image is not null terminated and
because of that there were few bytes of garbage after the firmware string:
[10420.164632] ath6kl: ar6004 hw 3.0 usb fw 3.5.0.300-1^A api 4
Add proper null termination to ath6kl_fetch_fw_apin() clean the firmware
version string.
