Are you sure this fix is not working around the real bug ?

In which cases bulk_out_maxpktsize would be zero ?

If this is a valid case, this needs to be explained in the changelog.

I'm with Eric here. This was a bug reported by a fuzzer, which throws
invalid input at the driver. The right answer is likely that we should
reject such invalid input when we receive it -- i.e., we should fail
to probe() the device if it has invalid capabilities. In particular,
we should fail to probe if wMaxPacketSize==0.

I was thinking of sending such a patch myself, but I don't have any
USB mwifiex hardware to test, so I deferred. It's probably pretty low
risk anyway, though.
