Also please provide a clear description of what you are trying to fix,
what happens without the patch, what happens with the patch. My review
below.

Yeah I have no idea why you are doing this here, based on your description
the skb will be free'd at ath_tx_get_buffer() but ath_tx_get_buffer()
does not free anything. Can you please be sure to check first against
