I feel like this message needs more detail.  At a minimum, I think it
should indicate what vector table (BHIe).  I think if you can identify
what file, etc the the glitch is in, that would be better.  Maybe some
detail about i and img_info->entries.

If I see this error message, I should have enough information to
immediately debug the issue.  If it tells enough to go directly into
the firmware file and have a look at entry X to see what might be
corrupt about it, that makes my debugging very efficient.  If I have
to go back to the code to figure out what "Malformed vector table"
means, and then maybe apply a patch to get more data about the error -
the error message is not as useful as it should be.


I plan on dropping this patch as it looks like an unnecessary check since we will always rely on the firmware->size from the request_firmware() API in order to calculate the img_info->entries (or we can call it the number of segments, in our case). And we will never fail in the if loop as values will already be
bounded.
