[PATCH] Fix potential bug in le_advertising_report()

From: Andre Guedes <hidden>
Date: 2011-02-22 17:44:29
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

In the current implementation of le_advertising_report(), the variable
'info' has an invalid memory address after the 'for' loop. If 'info'
is dereferenced it will access invalid memory.

This patch fixes this potential bug and improves the code's readability.
