[PATCH] nl80211: check return of nla_parse_nested

From: trix
Date: Fri Feb 18 2022 - 11:31:05 EST


From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx>

Clang static analysis reports this representative problem
nl80211.c:15426:6: warning: Branch condition evaluates
to a garbage value
if (!tb[NL80211_SAR_ATTR_TYPE] ||
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

tb is set when nla_parse_nested() is successful.
So check.

Fixes: 6bdb68cef7bf ("nl80211: add common API to configure SAR power limitations")
