Subject: [PATCH 3.16 025/366] mwifiex: pcie: tighten a check in
 mwifiex_pcie_process_event_ready()

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 01eca2842874b9a85b7cd1e1b0e5b34a5d53a21f upstream.

If "evt_len" is 1 then we try to memcpy() negative 3 bytes and it would
cause memory corruption.

Fixes: d930faee141b ("mwifiex: add support for Marvell pcie8766 chipset")
