[PATCH 3.12 080/176] cfg80211: avoid mem leak on driver hint set

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Thu Jan 29 2015 - 04:05:11 EST


From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 34f05f543f02350e920bddb7660ffdd4697aaf60 upstream.

In the already-set and intersect case of a driver-hint, the previous
wiphy regdomain was not freed before being reset with a copy of the
cfg80211 regdomain.

[js: backport to 3.12]
