Enabling DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS causes the following
warning:

In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:573,
                 from include/net/checksum.h:25,
                 from include/linux/skbuff.h:28,
                 from drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/iwl-4965-rs.c:28:
In function 'copy_from_user',
    inlined from 'iwl4965_rs_sta_dbgfs_scale_table_write' at
    drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/iwl-4965-rs.c:2616:
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:65:
warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared with
attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably
correct

presumably due to buf_size being signed causing GCC to fail to
see that buf_size can't become negative.

ACK, but we have more of that, perhaps you would like to fix them all.
If you don't want to, I'll do it. Note this can be easily done by:

sed -i 's/int buf_size;/size_t buf_size;/g' drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/*.[ch]
