Lyude Paul b72c51a58e brcmfmac: Fix out of bounds memory access during fw load
I ended up tracking down some rather nasty issues with f2fs (and other
filesystem modules) constantly crashing on my kernel down to a
combination of out of bounds memory accesses, one of which was coming
from brcmfmac during module load:

[   31.096533] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

It appears that when trying to determine the length of the string in the
alternate firmware path, we make the mistake of not handling the case
where the firmware path is empty correctly. Since strlen(mp_path) can
return 0, we'll end up accessing mp_path[-1] when the firmware_path
isn't provided through the module arguments.

So, fix this by just setting the end char to '\0' by default, and only
changing it if we have a non-zero length. Additionally, use strnlen()
with BRCMF_FW_ALTPATH_LEN instead of strlen() just to be extra safe.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
