Subject: [PATCH 04/17] iwlwifi: don't crash on firmware file missing info
Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 14:49:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273787399-9280-5-git-send-email-reinette.chatre@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1273787399-9280-1-git-send-email-reinette.chatre@intel.com>

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

If a firmware file misses one of the required
instruction or data pieces, the driver currently
crashes. Let it gracefully refuse that firmware
file instead.
