Pan Bian 259010c509 libertas: fix improper return value
Function lbs_cmd_802_11_sleep_params() always return 0, even if the call
to lbs_cmd_with_response() fails. In this case, the parameter @sp will
keep uninitialized. Because the return value is 0, its caller (say
lbs_sleepparams_read()) will not detect the error, and will copy the
uninitialized stack memory to user sapce, resulting in stack information
leak. To avoid the bug, this patch returns variable ret (which takes
the return value of lbs_cmd_with_response()) instead of 0.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
