[PATCH 4.14 24/49] staging: rtl8723bs: Fix uninitialized variables
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 14 2021 - 06:43:54 EST
From: Wenli Looi <wlooi@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 43c85d770db80cb135f576f8fde6ff1a08e707a4 upstream.
The sinfo.pertid and sinfo.generation variables are not initialized and
it causes a crash when we use this as a wireless access point.
