Subject: [PATCH ath-next] wifi: ath9k: owl: move name into owl_nvmem_probe
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:42:54 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223224254.27081-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
There is no need for dynamic allocation for a simple string.
request_firmware_nowait copies the string internally anyway.
The error message on failure is also wrong. It's an allocation failure,
not a find failure.
