X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d61c9177cb9bf48dcec9c3d9205a309085d4318;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

brcmsmac: avoid 512 byte stack variable

Dynamically allocate the probe response template which
avoids potential stack corruption. Observed with smatch:

drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/main.c:7412 brcms_c_bss_update_probe_resp()
 warn: 'prb_resp' puts 512 bytes on stack
