[PATCH] wifi: wcn36xx: fix channel survey memory allocation size
Posted by Barnabás Czémán 2 weeks, 5 days ago
KASAN reported a memory allocation issue in wcn->chan_survey
due to incorrect size calculation.
This commit uses kcalloc to allocate memory for wcn->chan_survey,
ensuring proper initialization and preventing the use of uninitialized
values when there are no frames on the channel.

Fixes: 29696e0aa413 ("wcn36xx: Track SNR and RSSI for each RX frame")
