Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] ax25: fix reference counting issue of ax25_dev

The first patch changes kfree in ax25_dev_free to ax25_dev_free,
because the ax25_dev is managed by reference counting.

The second patch fixes potential reference counting leak issue
in ax25_addr_ax25dev.

Duoming Zhou (2):
ax25: change kfree in ax25_dev_free to ax25_dev_free
ax25: fix potential reference counting leak in ax25_addr_ax25dev

I find this description confusing.
Would you like to refer to a ax25_dev_put() call?

How do you think about to link also to previous change approaches?
