Subject: rt2x00: Only free skb when beacon_update fails
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 20:46:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200804092046.28984.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)

In rt2x00lib_intf_scheduled_iter() we use the hw->beacon_update()
callback function. This means that it should behave similarly as mac80211
when that uses the function.

This means that the skb should only be freed when beacon_update() has failed,
otherwise the driver is the owner and is responsible for freeing the buffer.
