Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 11/19] wifi: brcmfmac: Check the return value of of_property_read_string_index()

From: Stefan Dösinger <stefan@...eweavers.com>

[ Upstream commit 082d9e263af8de68f0c34f67b251818205160f6e ]

Somewhen between 6.10 and 6.11 the driver started to crash on my
MacBookPro14,3. The property doesn't exist and 'tmp' remains
uninitialized, so we pass a random pointer to devm_kstrdup().

The crash I am getting looks like this:
