Subject: wl1251: check return from call to wl1251_acx_arp_ip_filter
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ac1181c60822292176ab96912208ec9f9819faf8 ]
Currently the less than zero error check on ret is incorrect
as it is checking a far earlier ret assignment rather than the
return from the call to wl1251_acx_arp_ip_filter. Fix this by
adding in the missing assginment.
