Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: ks7010_sdio: fix memory leak
Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2018 10:23:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180412152342.GA4040@embeddedor.com> (raw)
Memory allocated for netdev at line 854:
netdev = alloc_etherdev(sizeof(*priv));
is not being free'd before return, hence
there is a memory leak.
Fix this by freeing netdev before return.

Changes in v2:
- Update subject and commit changelog.
- Just directly free netdev. Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the feedback.
