Title
staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs _Read/Write_MACREG callbacks are NULL so the read/write_macreg_hdl() functions don't do anything except free the "pcmd" pointer. It results in a use after free. Delete them.
