wl12xx: fix use after free
When DEBUG_SPI is included in the debug log level wl1271_spi_reset() will dump the already freed memory instead of the SPI buffer. This bug was spotted by the semantic patch tool coccinelle using the script found at scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci. More information about semantic patching is available at http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/ Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
