When the BDF download QMI message has the end field set to 1, it signals
the end of the transfer, and triggers the firmware to do a CRC check.  The
BDFs for msm8998 devices fail this check, yet the firmware is happy to
still use the BDF.  It appears that this error is not caught by the
downstream drive by concidence, therefore there are production devices
in the field where this issue needs to be handled otherwise we cannot
support wifi on them.  So, attempt to detect this scenario as best we can
and treat it as non-fatal.

Would it make sense to combine the inner and outer condition,
something like this (completely untested) ?

		if (resp.resp.result != QMI_RESULT_SUCCESS_V01 &&
		    !(req->end == 1 &&
		      resp.resp.result == QMI_ERR_MALFORMED_MSG_V01)) {

I guess, make sense from what perspective?  Looks like the assembly
ends up being the same, so it would be down to "readability" which is
subjective - I personally don't see a major advantage to one way or
the other.  It does look like Kalle already picked up this patch, so
I'm guessing that if folks feel your suggestion is superior, then it
would need to be a follow on.

Perhaps worth adding a comment in the code as well, to describe what
scenario this relates to?

Same here, it's only on the pending branch so changes are still
possible.

My feeling is that it would reduce the churn in the patch making the
patch more readable and likewise improving the readability of the code.
But I do agree this does not affect run-time and I am ambivalent about
updating the patch if it has already been (semi-)accepted.
