[PATCH 2/4] staging: gigaset: fix illegal free on probe errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The driver failed to initialise its receive-buffer pointer, something
which could lead to an illegal free on late probe errors.

Fix this by making sure to clear all driver data at allocation.
