This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: vt6655: Fix memory leak in vt6655_probe
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: vt6655: Fix memory leak in vt6655_probe
In vt6655_probe, if vnt_init() fails the cleanup code needs to be called
like other error handling cases. The call to device_free_info() is
added.
Fixes: 67013f2c0e58 ("staging: vt6655: mac80211 conversion add main mac80211 functions")
