You appear to ensure that rtl_fw->version is properly terminated, so I
would suggest:

	BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(info->fw_version) < sizeof(rtl_fw->version));
	strcpy(info->fw_version, IS_ERR_OR_NULL(rtl_fw) ? "N/A" : rtl_fw->version);

This function is doing rather more than what its name suggests.  And it
always returns true, so it doesn't actually do what its name suggests at
all.
