Hi Mauro,
Hi Adrian,

Adrian used the coverity checker against radio-si470x and found this:

> The Coverity checker spotted the following check-after-use in

>
> <-- snip -->

> kfree(radio);

These two lines should indeed better be inside the if statement. The patch for this is below.

Thanks,
Toby
