This is not a drivers/staging/ change :(

[PATCH v3] staging: rtl8723bs: replace kzalloc/kmalloc+memcpy with kmemdup

[Alexandru Hossu]

Replace open-coded alloc+memcpy patterns with kmemdup().
This simplifies the code and avoids manual size/copy handling.

Signed-off-by: Alexandru Hossu <hossu.alexandru@gmail.com>

v3:
  - Drop unrelated DT binding changes from v2.
  - Wrap long line reported by checkpatch.

The version information here is not done properly :(

[PATCH v6] staging: rtl8723bs: use kmemdup() in rtw_cfg80211_set_wpa_ie

[Alexandru Hossu]

Replace open-coded kzalloc()+memcpy() with kmemdup() to simplify the code.

Signed-off-by: Alexandru Hossu <hossu.alexandru@gmail.com>

v6:
  - Rebase onto staging-next.
  - Limit changes to ioctl_cfg80211.c since sdio_ops.c is already fixed there.
  - Place version notes below the --- line (canonical patch format).
