Subject: [PATCH 2.6.19-rc4] usb auerswald possible memleak fix

Hello,

	There is possible memleak in auerbuf_setup(). Fix is to replace kfree() with auerbuf_free().
An argument to usb_free_urb() does not need a check as usb_free_urb() already does that. Not sure if I should
send this in two separate patches. The patch is against 2.6.19-rc4 (not -mm).
