Revert "ath10k: add sanity check to ie_len before parsing fw/board ie"

This reverts commit 9ed4f916.

The commit introduced a regression that over read the ie with
the padding.

- the expected IE information

ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: found firmware features ie (1 B)
ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 6
ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: Enabling feature bit: 7
ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: features
ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: 00000000: c0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

- the wrong IE with padding is read (0x77)
