Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused case from update_beacon()
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 18:01:23 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601150253.69930-2-nikolayof23@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260601150253.69930-1-nikolayof23@gmail.com>
The update_beacon() function is never called with 'ie_id' equal to
'WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC', meaning this case branch will never be
called, so remove it and several related functions.
Removing this case branch also fixes a possible null pointer
dereference in update_bcn_vendor_spec() if 'oui' is NULL, since
its value is not checked in any way.
