3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 685c9b7750bfacd6fc1db50d86579980593b7869 upstream. Currently mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie() implicitly assumes that the source descriptor entries contain the enough size for each type and performs copying without checking the source size. This may lead to read over boundary. Fix this by putting the source size check in appropriate places.
