Is the intent here really to allow multiple ids
in the list and match the last one?

If not, perhaps something like this is simpler?

static int ath6kl_init_hw_params(struct ath6kl *ar)
{
	int i;
	const struct ath6kl_hw *hw = hw_list;

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(hw_list); i++) {
		if (hw->id == ar->version.target_ver) {
			ar->hw = *hw;

			ath6kl_dbg(ATH6KL_DBG_BOOT,
				   "target_ver 0x%x target_type 0x%x dataset_patch 0x%x app_load_addr 0x%x\n",
				   ar->version.target_ver, ar->target_type,
				   ar->hw.dataset_patch_addr,
				   ar->hw.app_load_addr);
			ath6kl_dbg(ATH6KL_DBG_BOOT,
				   "app_start_override_addr 0x%x board_ext_data_addr 0x%x reserved_ram_size 0x%x\n",
				   ar->hw.app_start_override_addr,
				   ar->hw.board_ext_data_addr,
				   ar->hw.reserved_ram_size);
			ath6kl_dbg(ATH6KL_DBG_BOOT,
				   "refclk_hz %d uarttx_pin %d\n",
				   ar->hw.refclk_hz, ar->hw.uarttx_pin);

			return 0;
		}
		hw++;
	}

	ath6kl_err("Unsupported hardware version: 0x%x\n",
		   ar->version.target_ver);
	return -EINVAL;
}

btw: there are missing terminating newlines in the
current ath6kl_dbg uses in this routine.
