Subject: [PATCH] can: kvaser_usb: Avoid double free on URB submission failures
Upon a URB submission failure, the driver calls usb_free_urb()
but then manually frees the URB buffer by itself. Meanwhile
usb_free_urb() has alredy freed out that transfer buffer since
we're the only code path holding a reference to this URB.
Remove two of such invalid manual free().
