[PATCH] Net, libertas: Resolve memory leak inif_spi_host_to_card()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Nov 13 2011 - 16:08:49 EST


If we hit the default case in the switch in if_spi_host_to_card() we'll leak
the memory we allocated for 'packet'. This patch resolves the leak by freeing
the allocated memory in that case.
