Subject: [PATCH] net: bmac: Fix stack corruption panic in bmac_probe()

This fixes an old bug recently revealed by CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR.

The bmac_probe() stack frame was apparently corrupted by an array bounds
overrun in bmac_get_station_address().

This patch is the simplest way to resolve the issue given possible
side effects (?) from hardware accesses in bmac_get_station_address().

This choice of 'Fixes' tag is (of course) debatable. Other possible
choices might be 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2"),
c3ff2a5193fa ("powerpc/32: add stack protector support") and so on.
