Function wl1251_cmd_scan calls memcpy without checking the length.
A user could control that length and trigger a buffer overflow.
Fix by checking the length is within the maximum allowed size.

Please fix the commit log, the user cannot control this length as
cfg80211 checks it before handling it to wl1251. Unless I'm missing
something.

If you are checking the length, you should also check ssid_len here.

Please use clamp_val().

Also another (and IMHO better) way to cleanup this is to provide a
pointer to struct cfg80211_ssid, which makes it clear that the length
can be trusted and not length checking is not needed. So something like
this:

int wl1251_cmd_scan(struct wl1251 *wl, const struct cfg80211_ssid *ssid,
		    struct ieee80211_channel *channels[],
		    unsigned int n_channels, unsigned int n_probes)
