Subject: ath6kl: check for sband existence when creating scan cmd
X-Git-Tag: v3.5-rc1~101^2~6^2^2~84^2~8
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03e2084a843a700089a479e0ffdf5876c7059411;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

ath6kl: check for sband existence when creating scan cmd

The patch "ath6kl: support fw reporting phy capabilities" gave the
firmware the ability to disable certain wiphy supported bands. Check if
this is the case in ath6kl_wmi_beginscan_cmd to avoid dereferencing a
NULL pointer.

kvalo: change the patch so that there's no code between declarations
