Otherwise, skb_put inside of dma_rx can fail...

What would happen then? Of course we wouldn't receive packet, but
would we get some warning? Could this be reason of memory leak with
some firmware versions?

You get an skb_over_panic. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32042. I do not think a memory leak is likely.

John: The commit message should mention this as a fix for Bug #32042. In addition, it should Cc: stable.
