[ Upstream commit 316f790ebcf94bdf59f794b7cdea4068dc676d4c ]
The kzalloc() in brcmf_pcie_download_fw_nvram() will return null
if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we use
get_random_bytes() to generate random bytes in the randbuf, the
null pointer dereference bug will happen.
In order to prevent allocation failure, this patch adds a separate
function using buffer on kernel stack to generate random bytes in
the randbuf, which could prevent the kernel stack from overflow.
Fixes: 91918ce88d ("wifi: brcmfmac: pcie: Provide a buffer of random bytes to the device")

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.
