If oui were a null variable then vic_provinfo_alloc() would leak memory.
But this function is only called from one place and oui is not null so
I removed the check.
I also moved the memory allocation down a line so it was easier to spot.
(No one ever reads variable declarations).

This looks like memdup() ?

No. VIC_PROVINFO_MAX_DATA is larger than sizeof(vp->oui).
