Subject: [PATCH v2] brcm80211: fmac: Add error handling forbrcmf_usb_dl_writeimage()
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2025 15:20:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250415072048.2629-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

The function brcmf_usb_dl_writeimage() calls the function
brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() but dose not check its return value. The
'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized if the
function brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails. It is dangerous to use
uninitialized variables in the conditions.

Add error handling for brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() to jump to error
handling path if the brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails and the
'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized.

Improve the error message to report more detailed error
information.
