This code is supposed to loop over the whole board_type[] string.  The
current code kind of works just because ascii values start 97 and the
string is likely shorter than that so it will break when we hit the NUL
terminator.  But really the condition should be "i < len" instead of
"i < board_type[i]".

Fixes: 29e354ebeeec ("brcmfmac: Transform compatible string for FW loading")

Good catch, I actually have serious doubts about whatever I was thinking when
writing that line of code.

and the 2 lines above look like a devm_kstrdup.

The (unlikely) malloc failure test is also missing.

It turns out that Smatch checks for allocation failure were really
ancient and really crap...  I need to add all devm_ functions.
Probably should re-write all that code.

Also originally GFP_NOFAIL was 0x800 and now it is 0x8000.  Smatch
was out of sync.  So the functions that were supposed to be checked
were all disabled...  Need to figure out a better way to do that as
well.

There was talk about v2, but I don't see it in the patchwork.

Patch set to Changes Requested.

Ah, crap.  I started to debug Smatch to find out why it wasn't warning
about some of these bugs and I got a bit carried away writing Smatch
code and forgot to come back to this.

I will send it tomorrow.

No worries, take your time :) I just wanted to remind about this, or see
if patchwork or the mailing list have lost patches again (which has
happened in the past).
