Commit 55d4f6cc (staging: rtl8712: fix potential leak in r871x_wx_set_enc_ext()) moved the input verification to the beginning of the function so that the direct return no longer hurt. This change was also already in flight at the time of Your first version of the patch in May. Please check that Your patches are based on linux-next.
