[ Upstream commit 4eee6a3a04e8bb53fbe7de0f64d0524d3fbe3f80 ]

This happened on a machine with a custom hotplug script calling nameif,
probably due to slow firmware loading. At the time nameif uses ethtool
to gather interface information, i2400m->fw_name is zero and so a null
pointer dereference occurs from within i2400m_get_drvinfo().
