In update_eth_regs_async() neither the URB nor the request structure are being freed if usb_submit_urb() fails. The patch fixes this long lurking bug in the error path.

Please:

• include the targed tree in the subj prefix ('net' in this case)
• include a suitable Fixes tag

Sure, will do. However, my v2 patch makes use of __free() cleanup functionality, which in turn only applies back to v6.6 stable kernels.

I guess i shall make another version of the patch that is suitable only for v5.4 to v6.1 stable releases, right? How shall i format the patch so that it targets only these old versions?

cheers, Petko
