Subject: [PATCH 4.19 293/422] brcmsmac: Use kvmalloc() for ucode allocations
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>
[ Upstream commit 6c3efbe77bc78bf49db851aec7f385be475afca6 ]
The ucode chunk might be relatively large and the allocation with
kmalloc() may fail occasionally. Since the data isn't DMA-transferred
but by manual loops, we can use vmalloc instead of kmalloc.
For a better performance, though, kvmalloc() would be the best choice
in such a case, so let's replace with it.
