 le_tmp64 in rtw_BIP_verify() Initialize le_tmp64 to zero in rtw_BIP_verify() to prevent using
 uninitialized data. Smatch warns that only 6 bytes are copied to this 8-byte (u64) variable, leaving the
 last two bytes uninitialized: drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_security.c:1308 rtw_BIP_verify() warn:
