Subject[PATCH] net: wireless: wcn36xx: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Date
From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.com>

If kmalloc fails wcn36xx_smd_rsp_process will attempt to dereference
a NULL pointer. There might be a better error recovery then just
printing an error, but printing an error message is better then the
current behaviour.
