[PATCH] staging: r888eu: use dynamic allocation for efuse buffer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use kmalloc to allocate the efuse buffer in ReadAdapterInfo8188EU and
free it on exit. This is better than using a 512 byte array on the stack.

It's ok to drop the __aligned(4) qualifier. kmalloc aligns to
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, this is at least 8 bytes.
