Jérôme Pouiller 3a71ec74e5 wifi: wfx: fix memory leak when starting AP 
[ Upstream commit b8cfb7c819 ]

However, since the kernel is build optimized, it seems the stack is not
accurate. It appears the issue is related to wfx_set_mfp_ap(). The issue
is obvious in this function: memory allocated by ieee80211_beacon_get()
is never released. Fixing this leak makes kmemleak happy.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
