True, the code above it is also confusing as it's

#ifdef CONFIG_PM
	if (priv->wdev.wiphy->wowlan_config)
		nd_config = priv->wdev.wiphy->wowlan_config->nd_config;
#endif

	if (nd_config) {
		adapter->nd_info =
			kzalloc(sizeof(struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match) +
				sizeof(struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match *) *
				scan_rsp->number_of_sets, GFP_ATOMIC);

		if (adapter->nd_info)
			adapter->nd_info->n_matches = scan_rsp->number_of_sets;
	}
where nd_config is a pointer already initialized to NULL
so the #endif seems misplaced.

Maybe it'd be better to move the pmatch declaration to this block
and alloc to pmatch then assign adapter->nd_info->matches[idx]
later.

I think the #ifdef CONFIG_PM use in this routine is incomplete.
