[PATCH] carl9170: fix leaks at failure path in carl9170_usb_probe()

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <hidden>
Date: 2013-09-28 03:52:16
Also in: linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: atheros ath generic utilities, carl9170 linux community wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jeff Johnson, Christian Lamparter, Linus Torvalds

carl9170_usb_probe() does not handle request_firmware_nowait() failure
that leads to several leaks in this case.
The patch adds all required deallocations.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
