Reported by SuSe CI [1] by GCC [2], possibly false positive. Error:

Access to buffer done based on command code, the case complained by
FW_RESET_CMD has short buffer but this code path only taken with command
0x30, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Adding a size check before accessing to the buffer, as this is control
plane code, additional check shouldn't hurt.

@Luca, I am not sure if this additional check will satisfy the compiler,
can you please verify the patch?

@Jiawen, there is a specific handling for command 0x30, from comment it
looks like it is Read Flash command, but it looks like this command is
not used by the driver, if this is correct can we remove the check
completely? Removing can be simpler way to fix the compiler error.
