This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: wlan-ng: fix exit return when sme->key_idx >= NUM_WEPKEYS
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: wlan-ng: fix exit return when sme->key_idx >= NUM_WEPKEYS
Currently the exit return path when sme->key_idx >= NUM_WEPKEYS is via
label 'exit' and this checks if result is non-zero, however result has
not been initialized and contains garbage. Fix this by replacing the
goto with a return with the error code.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 0ca6d8e74489 ("Staging: wlan-ng: replace switch-case statements with macro")
