Re: [PATCH] i2c: i801: fix memleak on probe error

[Martin Mokrejs]

Thanks for the note, was just compiling a new 3.10.24 kernel to test it.
;-)

So far just booted an old 3.9 kernel and after plugging in an external
USB3 drive I got the message, just to be sure I am still able to reproduce
the error and that I have the right .config in the running kernel.

Will wait for another fix instead.
