In rtw_drv_init(), if rtw_drv_register_netdev() succeeds but
sdio_alloc_irq() fails, the error path jumps to free_if1 and calls
rtw_sdio_if1_deinit(). However, rtw_sdio_if1_deinit() calls
rtw_free_netdev() without a preceding unregister_netdev(), freeing a
still-registered netdev but leaving stale sysfs entries behind.

The original code allocated extra memory and manually aligned the
rsp_buf pointer to a 4-byte boundary, however kzalloc() guarantees a
minimum of 8-byte alignment so this was unnecessary.
Also, because the pointer was shifted, the original pointer had to be
stored in rsp_allocated_buf just so it could be passed to kfree() later.
Remove the redundant alignment math, remove the extra 4 bytes of padding
from kzalloc() call, and assign memory directly to rsp_buf.
This allows us to remove the rsp_allocated_buf variable from cmd_priv
struct.

kmalloc(16, GFP_ATOMIC) in c2h_wk_callback() could in theory return2
NULL, which would then be dereferenced in rtw_hal_c2h_valid().
A 16-byte allocation effectively cannot fail in practice, but add an
else continue; to the guard so the failure path exits the iteration
cleanly to make the code more robust.

The network_type_in_use member of struct wlan_bssid_ex is write-only:
nothing in the driver ever reads it. It is assigned in three places,
none of which feed anything:
- collect_bss_info() hard-codes it to Ndis802_11OFDM24 for every
parsed beacon/probe response, regardless of the network's actual
band or rates (it is even wrong for 5 GHz APs, which the same
function explicitly handles).
- rtw_check_beacon_data() and rtw_update_registrypriv_dev_network()
derive it from the wireless mode via a switch, but the result is
likewise never consumed.
The live PHY classification the driver actually acts on is kept in
wlan_network.network_type (the WIRELESS_11x value), so this NDIS-era
field is redundant.
struct wlan_bssid_ex is an internal structure passed by pointer through
the driver command queue; it is never serialized to firmware or onto
the air (the wire data lives in ies[]), so dropping a member is
layout-safe as long as the module is rebuilt as a whole.
enum ndis_802_11_network_type existed only to type this field, so
remove it as well. No functional change.

enum nl80211_iftype for this purpose, so use it directly and drop the

padapter->HalData is allocated via vzalloc(), but incorrectly freed
using kfree() in the rtw_sdio_if1_init() error path. Using kfree() to
release this vmalloc-backed buffer can lead to memory corruption.
Use rtw_hal_data_deinit() to pair the free correctly and free
HalData with vfree().
The bug was first flagged by an experimental static analysis tool we
are developing for kernel memory-management bugs. Manual inspection
confirms that the issue is still present in current mainline.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have
suitable RTL8723BS SDIO hardware to test with, no runtime testing was
able to be performed.
