      staging: r8712u: Fix regression caused by commit 8c213fa

      In commit 8c213fa "staging: r8712u: Use asynchronous firmware loading",
      the command to release the firmware was placed in the wrong routine.

      In combination with the bug introduced in commit a5ee652 "staging: r8712u:
      Interface-state not fully tracked", the driver attempts to upload firmware
      that had already been released. This bug is the source of one of the
      problems in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996#comment89833.

Accordingly, the fix described above was included in 3.3.4.

a5ee652 was merged during the 3.2 merge window and 8c213fa was
backported as part of 3.2.6, so I imagine the 3.2-stable tree needs
this fix, too.  (Luckily neither patch is in 3.0.y.)

Yes, that is correct.

I've queued this for 3.2.y, thanks.

Thank you,

Larry
