[PATCH] Madge Ambassador ATM Adapter driver: Always release_firmware() in ucode_init() and don't leak memory.

From: Jesper Juhl <hidden>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: atm, the rest · Maintainers: Chas Williams, Linus Torvalds

Failure to call release_firmware() will result in memory leak in 
drivers/atm/ambassador.c::ucode_init().
This patch makes sure we always call release_firmware() when needed, thus 
removing the leak(s).
