I know this is in the original code, but this is totally unsafe, we
can't go accessing the skb->data pointer without validating it has
this size, not to mention it is a little odd, to say the least, to
encode a dump event into a an ACL data packet, but then again it was
in the original code so I assume the firmware really does weird things
like this.

Anyway if we know for sure this is a dump packet it shall be possible
to use the likes of skb_pull_data and stop doing unsafe access like
this.

Ditto, just use skb_pull_data.

At this point we can actually use skb_pull_data as well since I don't
think the stack is supposed to process data packets with
QCA_MEMDUMP_ACL_HANDLE as handle.

Unsafe access, sk_len might loop around as well.

This should probably be places in a qca specific portion, also this is
not very efficient, so I wonder if we should have some means for
driver to register handles for its vendor events like this, so driver
don't have to go pick the packet appart to detect that it is not
really meant for the Bluetooth stack to process.

This should be something like btqca_recv_acl, etc.

Ditto, also since there is a clear difference between event vs ACL
packet I don't think it should be calling the same helper function to
detect if it is a dump packet or not.
