Subject: [PATCH 3.16 035/157] staging: rtl8712: uninitialized memory in
 read_bbreg_hdl()

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

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

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

commit 22c971db7dd4b0ad8dd88e99c407f7a1f4231a2e upstream.

Colin King reported a bug in read_bbreg_hdl():

	memcpy(pcmd->rsp, (u8 *)&val, pcmd->rspsz);

The problem is that "val" is uninitialized.

This code is obviously not useful, but so far as I can tell
"pcmd->cmdcode" is never GEN_CMD_CODE(_Read_BBREG) so it's not harmful
either.  For now the easiest fix is to just call r8712_free_cmd_obj()
and return.
