[PATCH] brcmfmac: free primary net_device when brcmf_bus_start() fails

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

 



When initialization within brcmf_bus_start() fails on steps
before the brcmf_net_attach() the net_device for the primary
interface needs to be freed.

This patch resolves a panic during kernel boot as reported
by Stephen Warren.
