From f16fdc9d2dc1e5b270e9a08377587e831e0d36ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amitkumar Karwar Date: Mon, 6 May 2013 19:46:54 -0700 Subject: mwifiex: fix memory leak issue when driver unload After unregister_netdevice() call the request is queued and reg_state is changed to NETREG_UNREGISTERING. As we check for NETREG_UNREGISTERED state, free_netdev() never gets executed causing memory leak. Initialize "dev->destructor" to free_netdev() to free device data after unregistration.
