[PATCH] iwl4965: Fix a memory leak in error handling code of __il4965_up
From: Jia-Ju Bai <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-07 12:17:44
When il4965_hw_nic_init in __il4965_up fails, the memory allocated by iwl4965_sta_alloc_lq in iwl4965_alloc_bcast_station is not freed. This patches adds il_dealloc_bcast_stations in the error handling code of __il4965_up to fix this problem. This patch has been tested in real device, and it actually fixes the bug.
