Subject: [PATCH] Revert "can: kvaser_usb: free buf in error paths"
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This reverts commit 70d9dccf50152b0d7bfb2697d8c51e9fab9f782c which was
commit 435019b48033138581a6171093b181fc6b4d3d30 upstream.
Jimmy Assarsson asks that it be reverted as it's not correct there.
