Subject: brcmsmac: Fix WARNING caused by lack of calls to dma_mapping_error()
From: "John W. Linville" <linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 67d0cf50bd32b66eab709871714e55725ee30ce4 upstream.
The driver fails to check the results of DMA mapping in twp places,
which results in the following warning:

As the patch adds a new failure mechanism to dma_rxfill(). When I changed the
comment at the start of the routine to add that information, I also polished
the wording.
