Subject: [PATCH][next] i40iw: fix null pointer dereference on a null wqe pointer

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently the null check for wqe is incorrect and lets a null wqe
be passed to set_64bit_val and this indexes into the null pointer
causing a null pointer dereference.  Fix this by fixing the null
pointer check to return an error if wqe is null.

Addresses-Coverity: ("dereference after a null check")
Fixes: 4b34e23f4eaa ("i40iw: Report correct firmware version")
