gcc-7 complains that wl3501_cs passes NULL into a function that then uses the argument as the input for memcpy: drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function 'wl3501_get_scan': include/net/iw_handler.h:559:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull] memcpy(stream + point_len, extra, iwe->u.data.length); This works fine here because iwe->u.data.length is guaranteed to be NULL, and the memcpy doesn't actually have an effect. Making the length check explicit avoids the warning and should have no other effect here.
