That's my point though - if we "goto fail_ifa" or "goto
fail_wiphy_register", we have the same bug, no?
So shouldn't the patch simply be this:
diff --git a/net/mac80211/main.c b/net/mac80211/main.c
index 846528850612..a42d1f0ef7a5 100644
--- a/net/mac80211/main.c
+++ b/net/mac80211/main.c
@@ -1442,6 +1442,7 @@ int ieee80211_register_hw(struct ieee80211_hw *hw)

fail_flows:

destroy_workqueue(local->workqueue);
