SKBs that are allocated in the HTC layer do not have callbacks
registered and hence ended up not being freed, Fix this by freeing
them properly in the TX completion routine.

Yes, your fix handles the normal case, and you can add a

I still have one remaining question. It is possible for the timeout code in htc_config_pipe_credits() to be executed, as shown below:

        time_left = wait_for_completion_timeout(&target->cmd_wait, HZ);
        if (!time_left) {
                dev_err(target->dev, "HTC credit config timeout\n");
                return -ETIMEDOUT;
        }

When this timeout happens, is the skb leaked?
