5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Wentao Liang vulab@iscas.ac.cn
commit 8e089e7b585d95122c8122d732d1d5ef8f879396 upstream.
The function brcmf_usb_dl_writeimage() calls the function brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() but dose not check its return value. The 'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized if the function brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails. It is dangerous to use uninitialized variables in the conditions.
Add error handling for brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() to jump to error handling path if the brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails and the 'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized.
Improve the error message to report more detailed error information.
