4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mustafa Ismail <mustafa.ismail@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 7eaf8313b1cfe93417a22bdc3f7380cac2a3dc6d upstream.
In i40iw_free_virt_mem(), do not set mem->va to NULL
after freeing it as mem->va is a self-referencing pointer
to mem.
Fixes: 4e9042e647ff ("i40iw: add hw and utils files")
