We can follow the call chain and find that 'bcm_tx_setup' function calls 'memcpy_from_msg' to copy some content to the newly allocated frame of 'op->frames'. After that the 'len' field of copied structure being compared with some constant value (64 or 8). However, if 'memcpy_from_msg' returns an error, we will compare some uninitialized memory. This triggers 'uninit-value' issue.

This patch will add 'memcpy_from_msg' possible errors processing to avoid uninit-value issue.
