On error we jumped to the error label and returned the error code but we
missed releasing sinfo.

Should the From: and Signed-off-by: email addresses be the same?

Looks sane to me. I must note that the bug this is fixing is only in
the mac80211-next tree.
Fixes: 5fe74014172d ("mac80211: avoid excessive stack usage in sta_info")

I think 2 years back I had a long discussion with Greg about this and
since then I al submitting patches like this. A small summayg of the
problem from that discussion:
"we have strict DMARC check for the corporate mail server. DMARC =
domain based message authentication.
So the mail i sent reached all the list subscriber from a different
server than our designated server, and as a result it is marked as spam
in many places and I have already received a few complaints regarding
that."

You can add a separate "From:" line to the beginning of the commit log
and git will use it then commiting the patch. I didn't find any
documention but it's easy to do and should solve this.
