[PATCH] cfg80211: Fix a memory leak in error handling path in 'brcmf_cfg80211_attach'

From: Christophe JAILLET <hidden>
Date: 2017-06-20 06:22:18
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml, netdev
Subsystem: broadcom brcm80211 ieee802.11 wireless drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Arend van Spriel, Linus Torvalds

If 'wiphy_new()' fails, we leak 'ops'. Add a new label in the error
handling path to free it in such a case.

Fixes: 5c22fb85102a7 ("brcmfmac: add wowl gtk rekeying offload support")
Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <redacted>
