Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: free primary net_device when brcmf_bus_start() fails
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 11:03:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370595780-5904-1-git-send-email-arend@broadcom.com> (raw)

When initialization within brcmf_bus_start() fails on steps
before the brcmf_net_attach() the net_device for the primary
interface needs to be freed.

This patch resolves a panic during kernel boot as reported
by Stephen Warren.
