Subject: [PATCH 4.18 102/197] brcmfmac: fix brcmf_wiphy_wowl_params() NULL pointer dereference

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

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

From: Winnie Chang <winnie.chang@...ress.com>

[ Upstream commit 27a8aea13053700ad2a08189024df7e341d1ee51 ]

The kernel BUG happens when wowl is enabled from firmware. In
brcmf_wiphy_wowl_params(), cfg is a NULL pointer because it is
drvr->config returned from wiphy_to_cfg(), and drvr->config is not set
yet. To fix it, set drvr->config before brcmf_setup_wiphy() which
calls brcmf_wiphy_wowl_params().
