The driver comments show an initialization sequence of:
 * i2400m_setup()
 *   i2400m->bus_setup()
 *   i2400m_bootrom_init()
 *   register_netdev()
 *   wimax_dev_add()
 *   i2400m_dev_start()
 *     __i2400m_dev_start()
 *       i2400m_dev_bootstrap()

dev_bootstrap() is where the firmware is loaded. So, if something calls
get_drvinfo() from a register_netdevice_notifier (such as the cnic driver),
we won't have a firmware name, and strncpy will crash.
