From f72fa45f7d3e3ec627b62fed2e3451f5a597914d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amitkumar Karwar Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 21:41:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: remove unnecessary free_priv handler Cfg80211 stack allocates private area for driver use in struct cfg80211_bss. It will be freed by stack in bss_release(). Driver don't need to worry about it. In mwifiex driver, we use the private area just to store band information(u8). We don't allocate memory explicitly and store it's pointer in bss->priv. Hence we don't have any cleanup work to do in free_priv handler. Currently we try to free the allocated private area in free_priv handler which is not correct. This patch removes unnecessary free_priv handler.
