In some firmware images, the length of BNX_DIR_TYPE_PKG_LOG nvram type
could be greater than the fixed buffer length of 4096 bytes allocated by
the driver. This was causing HWRM_NVM_READ to copy more data to the buffer
than the allocated size, causing general protection fault.
Fix the issue by allocating the exact buffer length returned by
HWRM_NVM_FIND_DIR_ENTRY, instead of 4096. Move the kzalloc() call
into the bnxt_get_pkgver() function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
