The call to brcm_alt_fw_path in brcmf_fw_get_firmwares is not protected

results in a crash in strlcat when, for example, the WLAN chip is found
in a USB dongle.

Prevent the crash by adding the necessary check.

I think this should go to v5.17.

Is that an Ack? Are you asking me to submit the patch in a different way?
