From 445006de7c59a9086b00025f9c3c97c75effd3c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bing Zhao Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 20:43:56 -0700 Subject: mwifiex: fix wrong return values in add_virtual_intf() error cases commit 858faa57dd9e2b91f3f870fbb1185982e42f5a2b upstream add_virtual_intf() needs to return an ERR_PTR(), instead of NULL, on errors, otherwise cfg80211 will crash.
