We should "return result;" here otherwise we'll hang when we
wait_for_completion().  This is the sort of bug why I always encourage
people to keep the error path and success path separate (unless they
both have to unlock or free the same resources).

That way this becomes a "return 0;" instead of a "return result;".

This code works, but it would look cleaner with "return result;".

	result = wilc_enqueue_cmd(&msg);
	if (result) {
		netdev_err(vif->ndev, "AP - WEP Key\n");
		kfree(msg.body.key_info.attr.wep.key);
		return result;
	}

	wait_for_completion(&hif_drv->comp_test_key_block);
	return 0;

I removed a blank line between the wilc_enqueue_cmd() and the error
handling because they're very connected.  All the success path is at
indent level one so you can just glance at the function and see what
it's supposed to do in the normal case.  The error handling is self
contained at indent level two.
