Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

The function brcmf_net_attach() can only fail when register_netdevice()
fails. When this happens register_netdevice() calls priv_destructor, ie.
brcmf_cfg80211_free_netdev() freeing the vif instance. Also upon this
failure brcmf_net_attach() calls free_netdev(). However, callers are also
doing cleanup resulting in double free. In some places they need netdev
private space as it holds parameters to communicate with the device. So
we want to do the cleanup only in callers of brcmf_net_attach() by making
the following changes:
- set priv_destructor after register_netdevice() succeeds.
- remove call to free_netdev() in brcmf_net_attach().
- call free_netdev() in brcmf_net_detach() for unregistered netdev.
- add free_netdev() if brcmf_net_attach() fails for a created interface.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
