Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: fix memory leak on buf on failed eeprom read
Date: Wed,  3 May 2017 15:26:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170503142600.32609-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The AR5K_EEPROM_READ macro returns with -EIO if a read error
occurs causing a memory leak on the allocated buffer buf. Fix
this by explicitly calling ath5k_hw_nvram_read and exiting on
the via the freebuf label that performs the necessary free'ing
of buf when a read error occurs.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1248782 ("Resource Leak")
