Subject: [PATCH RFC] net: wireless: cisco: Fix possible uninit bug

The struct cap_rid should be initialized by function readCapabilityRid.
However, there is not return value check. Iit is possible that
the function readCapabilityRid returns error code and cap_rid.softCap
is not initialized. But there is a read later for this field.
