Re: [PATCH 16/30] net/wireless: Use kmemdup rather than duplicating its implementation

kmemdup is introduced to duplicate a region of memory in a neat way.
Rather than kmalloc/kzalloc + memset, which the programmer needs to
write the size twice (sometimes lead to mistakes), kmemdup improves
readability, leads to smaller code and also reduce the chances of mistakes.
Suggestion to use kmemdup rather than using kmalloc/kzalloc + memset.

I assume I can take this to wireless-drivers-next. If not, please
holler.

Fuqian, it would help the maintainers a lot if you could clearly
indicate to which tree the patches are planned to be commited. If I just
see one patch from a 30 patch set I have no clue what is your plan,
either is someone else going to apply the full patchset or the
maintainers should pick respective patches individually.
