Subject: Re: [PATCH] ath: ath6kl: fix error return code of
 ath6kl_htc_rx_bundle()

Hi Leon,

I am quite sorry for my incorrect patches...
My static analysis tool reports some possible bugs about error handling 
code, and thus I write some patches for the bugs that seem to be true in 
my opinion.
Because I am not familiar with many device drivers, some of my reported 
bugs can be false positives...


Best wishes,
Jia-Ju Bai
