Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: Fix double free on hw attach error path
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 19:38:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CC8639A.9070409@27m.se> (raw)

If ath5k_hw_attach fails it will free sc->ah (local variable ah) before
returning. However, when it reports failure the caller (ath5k_pci_probe)
will also free sc->ah. Let the caller handle the deallocation, it does
so on further errors as well.

The patch is generated from a week-old compat-wireless, but applies
cleanly with -p1 to wireless-testing today.
