Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] wifi: ath12k: fix warning when unbinding

Hello Jeff,

> this test is unnecessary since kfree() already handles NULL
I agree and normally kfree behaves in that way, but in this case the
warning comes from free_large_kmalloc. Unbinding from VMs, the warning is
always happening if the previous crash is fixed (first commit of this
series).

Thanks

Best regards
