Subject: [PATCH] wifi: wfx: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in wfx_set_mfp_ap()

Since 'ieee80211_beacon_get()' can return NULL, 'wfx_set_mfp_ap()'
should check the return value before examining skb data. So convert
the latter to return an appropriate error code and propagate it to
return from 'wfx_start_ap()' as well. Compile tested only.

Patches like this should be tested on a real device.

The code would be slightly better if we would invert this condition:

if (!ptr)
return -EINVAL;

I would prefer to not abuse of the trinary operator. I would prefer:

if (ret > 0)
return -EIO;
return wfx_set_mfp_ap(wvif);

I agree with the patch. Could you fix the cosmetics issues? I will take care
of testing it on real hardware.

For the record, I tested with hostapd and this configuration:
