Subject: [08/40] wl12xx: Check buffer bound when processing nvs data

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pontus Fuchs <pontus.fuchs@...il.com>

commit f6efe96edd9c41c624c8f4ddbc4930c1a2d8f1e1 upstream.

An nvs with malformed contents could cause the processing of the
calibration data to read beyond the end of the buffer. Prevent this
from happening by adding bound checking.
