[PATCH] mwifiex: Fix request_irq() failure handling

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

 



From: Karthik D A <karthida@xxxxxxxxxxx>

It's been observed that request_irq() failure leads to a system crash
due to a bug in mwifiex driver.
When this failure happens, mwifiex_add_card() already takes care of
clearing and freeing adapter->card pointer. This patch removes the
redundant cleanup code causing crash.
