firmware: make sure the fw file size is not 0
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the requested firmware file size is 0 bytes in the filesytem, we
will try to vmalloc(0), which causes a warning:

  vmalloc: allocation failure: 0 bytes
  kworker/1:1: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2
    __vmalloc_node_range+0x164/0x208
    __vmalloc_node+0x4c/0x58

    process_one_work+0x1d0/0x750
    worker_thread+0x184/0x4ac
    kthread+0xb4/0xc0

To fix this, check whether the file size is less than or equal to zero
in fw_read_file_contents().
