[PATCH 1/3] bluetooth: hci_ldisc: fix memory leak on tty_close

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Fri Mar 09 2012 - 10:44:59 EST


The hci_uart is never freed when tty is closed if the protocol has not
been set.

This was discovered by David Hermann and fixed in bluetooth-next. Those
patches are more intrusive as they remove the mandatory destructor
completely.

This is the minimal fix, which leaves the destructor as an empty dummy
call for now.
