Hi Inaky/All,

i2400mu_rxd calls i2400m_rx with the received SKB.  i2400m_rx does not free the 
SKB on error; i2400mu_rxd would still own the SKB.  i2400mu_rxd does not free 
the SKB if i2400m_rx returns an error; the SKB is leaked.  Is this analysis 
correct?

I believe the following would prevent the leak.  If everyone agrees, I'll 
submit a formal patch.

Regards,
...doug
