[PATCH] cfg80211: Fix memory leak

From: Larry Finger <hidden>
Date: 2013-02-04 21:34:14
Also in: linux-wireless
Subsystem: 802.11 (including cfg80211/nl80211), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

When a driver requests a specific regulatory domain after cfg80211 already
has one, a struct ieee80211_regdomain is leaked.
