If pmlmepriv is equal to NULL we would die in rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data(),
so this check is just redundant


Hi Pavel, thank you for your comment! If I'm removing this if statement,
should I include vfree(pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf) in
rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data?


Hm

Simple grep shows, that this member is just unused

1 drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme.c|64 col 13| pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf = pbuf;
2 drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme.c|116 col 20| vfree(pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf);
3 drivers/staging/r8188eu/include/rtw_mlme.h|322 col 6| u8 *free_bss_buf;

so looks like you can just remove free_bss_buf and all related lines.

I hope I haven't overlooked something
