Subject: [PATCH v3] rtlwifi: rtl8192se firmware load can overflow target buffer

From: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@...onical.com>

Define RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE which represents the
maximimum possible firmware file size. Use it in the definition
of the buffer which receives the firmware file data.

Set RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE closer to the actual size of
the firmware file, e.g., 90000 (down from hard coded 164000). The current
size of rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin is 88856.

Set max_fw_size to RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE for the size limit
check. Fix the error case where max_fw_size is not cleared if the size
limit check fails.
