Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: Fix request_irq() failure handling
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 18:18:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1468586919-7534-1-git-send-email-akarwar@marvell.com> (raw)
From: Karthik D A <karthida@marvell.com>
It's been observed that request_irq() failure leads to a system crash
due to a bug in mwifiex driver.
When this failure happens, mwifiex_add_card() already takes care of
clearing and freeing adapter->card pointer. This patch removes the
redundant cleanup code causing crash.
