Pull staging driver fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are two small bugfixes for a staging driver to fix a
  much-reported issue.

  The fixes are for the rtl8723bs driver and it's something that many
  scanning tools keep tripping over in convoluted ways (and seems to be
  able to be triggered by network traffic)

  These fixes have been in linux-next for many weeks with no reported
  issues, sorry for the delay in getting them to you"

commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing
bogus memset()") enforced the provided data to be at least the size of
the declared buffer in the report descriptor to prevent a buffer
overflow. However, we can try to be smarter by providing both the buffer
size and the data size, meaning that hid_report_raw_event() can make
better decision whether we should plaining reject the buffer (buffer
overflow attempt) or if we can safely memset it to 0 and pass it to the
rest of the stack.

The return value of kzalloc_flex() is used without
ensuring that the allocation succeeded, and the
pointer is dereferenced unconditionally.

Guard the access to the allocated structure to
avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference if the
allocation fails.

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of staging driver changes for 7.1-rc1.

  Nothing major in here at all, just lots of little cleanups for the
  staging drivers, driven by new developers getting their feet wet in
  kernel development. "Largest" thing in here is the change of some of
  the octeon variable types into proper kernel ones.

  Full details are in the shortlog.

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of staging driver changes for 7.1-rc1.

  Nothing major in here at all, just lots of little cleanups for the
  staging drivers, driven by new developers getting their feet wet in
  kernel development. "Largest" thing in here is the change of some of
  the octeon variable types into proper kernel ones.

  Full details are in the shortlog.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"
