Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: rtl8712: rtl871x_mlme.c: Cleaning up memory leak

Hi Christian!

Yes!  I mail about this for the first time in early May, but ther were
many other faults in the design of my patch, had several different
types of errors in the same path etc.

So good that they have already been solved then :)



Best regards
Rickard Strandqvist
