Hi,

I'll resend the two patches in this series as part of a bigger series soon, please ignore them for now.


Thanks,

In the error path of the IRQ handler, don't free the skb in flight. The
callback in the digital core will do that for us, so this is another
double-free that leads to memory corruptions.

The assignment of 'wtx' doesn't make sense as the variable is not read
after it is written. Drop it.
