I notice your v2 now returns 0 for _all_ unknown tags.  v1 just had a
special case for "WMI_TLV_TAG_FIRST_ARRAY_ENUM".  I don't have enough
experience with this driver to know which is better, but this change
wasn't mentioned in the changes from v1.  I guess you had a change of
heart and decided this way was better?

Your new patch still requires the caller to init the
"service_map_ext_valid" to false before calling, but I guess there's
not a whole lot more we can do because we might be parsing more than
one tag.  It does seem nice that at least we now have a validity bit
instead of just relying on a non-zero length to be valid.

It might be nice to have a comment saying that it's up to us to init
"arg.service_map_ext_valid" to false before calling
ath10k_wmi_pull_svc_avail(), but I won't insist.  Maybe that's obvious
to everyone but me...
