This patch:

True, the code above it is also confusing as it's

#ifdef CONFIG_PM
	if (priv->wdev.wiphy->wowlan_config)
		nd_config = priv->wdev.wiphy->wowlan_config->nd_config;
#endif

	if (nd_config) {
		adapter->nd_info =
			kzalloc(sizeof(struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match) +
				sizeof(struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match *) *
				scan_rsp->number_of_sets, GFP_ATOMIC);

		if (adapter->nd_info)
			adapter->nd_info->n_matches = scan_rsp->number_of_sets;
	}
where nd_config is a pointer already initialized to NULL
so the #endif seems misplaced.

 		if (chan_band_tlv && adapter->nd_info) {
 			adapter->nd_info->matches[idx] =
-				kzalloc(sizeof(*pmatch) +
-				sizeof(u32), GFP_ATOMIC);
+				kzalloc(sizeof(*pmatch) + sizeof(u32),
+					GFP_ATOMIC);
 
 			pmatch = adapter->nd_info->matches[idx];
 
 			if (pmatch) {
-				memset(pmatch, 0, sizeof(*pmatch));
-				if (chan_band_tlv) {
-					pmatch->n_channels = 1;
-					pmatch->channels[0] =
-						chan_band->chan_number;
-				}
+				pmatch->n_channels = 1;
+				pmatch->channels[0] = chan_band->chan_number;
 			}
 		}

Maybe it'd be better to move the pmatch declaration to this block
and alloc to pmatch then assign adapter->nd_info->matches[idx]
later.

I think the #ifdef CONFIG_PM use in this routine is incomplete.
