Observed with smatch: drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/main.c:7412 brcms_c_bss_update_probe_resp() warn: 'prb_resp' puts 512 bytes on stack Cc: Brett Rudley <brudley@broadcom.com> Cc: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Cc: "Franky (Zhenhui) Lin" <frankyl@broadcom.com> Cc: Hante Meuleman <meuleman@broadcom.com> Cc: "John W.
