Subject[PATCH] wireless: mwifiex: fix double free
Date
From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

clang static analysis reports this problem:

sdio.c:2403:3: warning: Attempt to free released memory
kfree(card->mpa_rx.buf);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When mwifiex_init_sdio() fails in its first call to
mwifiex_alloc_sdio_mpa_buffer, it falls back to calling it
again. If the second alloc of mpa_tx.buf fails, the error
handler will try to free the old, previously freed mpa_rx.buf.
Reviewing the code, it looks like a second double free would
happen with mwifiex_cleanup_sdio().

So set both pointers to NULL when they are freed.

Fixes: 5e6e3a92b9a4 ("wireless: mwifiex: initial commit for Marvell mwifiex driver")
