hwxmits is allocated via kcalloc and not checked for failure before its
dereference. The patch fixes this problem by returning error upstream
in rtl8723bs, rtl8188eu.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging/iio driver pull request for 5.1-rc1.

  Lots of good IIO driver updates and cleanups in here as always.
  Combined with the removal of the xgifb driver, we have a net "loss" of
  over 9000 lines in the pull request, always a nice thing.

  As the outreachy application process is currently happening, there are
  loads of tiny checkpatch cleanup fixes all over the staging tree,

<title>get rid of legacy 'get_ds()' function</title>

Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as
an actual define, or as an inline function).  It's an entirely
historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the
segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86.

Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS.

Inspired by a patch from Jann Horn that just did this for a very small
subset of users (the ones in fs/), along with Al who suggested a script.
I then just took it to the logical extreme and removed all the remaining
gunk.

Roughly scripted with

   git grep -l '(get_ds())' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i 's/(get_ds())/(KERNEL_DS)/'
   git grep -lw 'get_ds' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i '/^#define get_ds()/d'

plus manual fixups to remove a few unusual usage patterns, the couple of
inline function cases and to fix up a comment that had become stale.

The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user
space it actually does something relevant.

"psecnetwork" is the address of &amp;psecuritypriv-&gt;sec_bss.  Since
-&gt;sec_bss isn't the first member of the struct that means that
"psecnetwork" can't be NULL.

We can just remove this dead code.

<title>staging: rtl8723bs: Fix build error with Clang when inlining is disabled</title>

<id>97715058b70da1262fd07798c8b2e3e894f759dd</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_NO_AUTO_INLINE was present in linux-next (which added
'-fno-inline-functions' to KBUILD_CFLAGS), an allyesconfig build with
Clang failed at the modpost stage:

ERROR: "is_broadcast_mac_addr" [drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/r8723bs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "is_zero_mac_addr" [drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/r8723bs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "is_multicast_mac_addr" [drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/r8723bs.ko] undefined!

These functions were marked as extern inline, meaning that if inlining
doesn't happen, the function will be undefined, as it is above.

This happens to work with GCC because the '-fno-inline-functions' option
respects the __inline attribute so all instances of these functions are
inlined as expected and the definition doesn't actually matter. However,
with Clang and '-fno-inline-functions', a function has to be marked with
the __always_inline attribute to be considered for inlining, which none
of these functions are. Clang tries to find the symbol definition
elsewhere as it was told and fails, which trickles down to modpost.

To make sure that this code compiles regardless of compiler and make the
intention of the code clearer, use 'static' to ensure these functions
are always defined, regardless of inlining. Additionally, silence a
checkpatch warning by switching from '__inline' to 'inline'.

This reverts commit e6d093719e22a09e778edde192dfd89a0cd77b5c.

Turns out it is not needed at all, a fix for clang was made and accepted
upstream in that project that makes this change unnecessary.  So revert
it.
