In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: brcmfmac: fix invalid address access when enabling SCAN log level

The variable i is changed when setting random MAC address and causes
invalid address access when printing the value of pi->reqs[i]->reqid.

We replace reqs index with ri to fix the issue.
