This got picked up as a new patch by patchwork, but please resend.

As I mentioned on the other patch, you have whitespace issues (tabs
replaced by space, so the patch doesn't apply)

Also, on this particular patch you forgot the Signed-off-by.

Please also reword the subject to indicate that you fixed something, it
seems a bit strange to me to write just "memory leak" :)

Your "MHZ" patch also has the same whitespace issues, while the if.h
patch applied fine (though it wasn't changing any indented code, so
whitespace wouldn't have mattered)

Please resend this patch, the return values one and the MHz one.

Thanks,
johannes
