        if (remainder_ielen > 0) {
                pbackup_remainder_ie = kmalloc(remainder_ielen, GFP_ATOMIC);
                if (pbackup_remainder_ie)
                        memcpy(pbackup_remainder_ie, premainder_ie,
                               remainder_ielen);
        }

        pwps_ie_src = pmlmepriv->wps_beacon_ie;
        if (pwps_ie_src == NULL)
                return;


Maybe just check pwps_ie_src earlier?
