We only get here if *bp is NULL.
But on the following line *bp is dereferenced.

Perhaps this should be netdev_warn(*dev, ...)

Flagged by Smatch.

hwrm_req_init() expects a variable of type u16  as it's type parameter.
But the tupe of nl_req->req_type is __le32.

As flagged by Sparse.

Likewise, the type of resp->resp_len is __le16, but an int is expected.
