Subject: [BNX2 3/4]: Fix bug in bnx2_nvram_write().
Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2007 15:56:48 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1168300608.4430.9.camel@rh4> (raw)

[BNX2]: Fix bug in bnx2_nvram_write().

The bug was a bogus pointer being passed to kfree().  The pointer was
incremented in the write loop and then passed to kfree().

The fix is to use align_buf to save the original address.
