Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1487394: Insecure data handling (TAINTED_SCALAR) /drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/debugfs.c: 355 in _iwl_dbgfs_fw_dbg_domain_write()

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):

Thanks for your attention!

We have removed the "write" part of this debugfs entry, so this is not applicable anymore.

Thanks for reporting!
