iwlwifi: mvm: check iwl_nvm_init return value
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
iwl_nvm_init() return value wasn't checked in some
path, which resulted in the following panic (if
there was some issue with the nvm):

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004
pgd = d0460000
[00000004] *pgd=00000000
