Subject: [PATCH] soc: qcom: wcnss_ctrl: fix firmware leak on req allocation failure
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:17:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417-wcnss_ctrl-v1-1-5811ffbd8f49@gmail.com> (raw)
In wcnss_download_nv(), if kzalloc_flex() fails, the current code
returns -ENOMEM directly and leaves the firmware reference unreleased.
Fixes: 908061f0ad30 ("soc: qcom: wcnss: simplify allocation of req")
