Re: [PATCHv2] Fixes function fw_download_code to check for Null return from dev_skb_alloc

[Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

Lots of things wrong here, please step back, and slow down.

Your subject, this really isn't "v2", is it?

Again, this patch will not apply to the tree, you are making it against
