Checkpatch emits WARNING: Avoid multiple line dereference.
Checkpatch warning is fixed by:
* Trivial indentation improvement and
* Using += instead of + helps shortening the statement.

Check the condition: "pdata->length < 32" first, to be able to return immediately
in case of error and then continue with the rest of the function without one
extra indentation level.

This patch fixes the checkpatch issue by removing the Free Software
Foundation's mailing address from the sample GPL notice. Because the FSF
has changed address in the past, and may change again. Linux already

We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Although the driver works on big-endian hardware, Sparse generates a lot
of warnings. Many of these are the result of incorrect coding of these
macros.

gcc-7 detects that wlanhdr_to_ethhdr() in two drivers calls memcpy() with
a destination argument that an earlier function call may have set to NULL:
staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_recv.c: In function 'wlanhdr_to_ethhdr':
staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_recv.c:1318:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_recv.c: In function 'r8712_wlanhdr_to_ethhdr':
staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_recv.c:649:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
I'm fixing this by adding a NULL pointer check and returning failure
from the function, which is hopefully already handled properly.
This seems to date back to when the drivers were originally added,
so backporting the fix to stable seems appropriate. There are other
related realtek drivers in the kernel, but none of them contain a
function with a similar name or produce this warning.
