Also, there is a sanity check just before the for() loop:

  38         if (fw_image->fw_info.fw_section_cnt > MAX_FW_TYPE_NUM) {
  39                 dev_err(&priv->hwdev->hwif->pdev->dev, "Wrong fw_type_num read from file, fw_type_num: 0x%x\n    ",
  40                         fw_image->fw_info.fw_section_cnt);
  41                 return false;
  42         }

so, this should be fine.
