Date: Wed Apr 11 2018 - 16:03:56 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 8fed6823e06e43ee9cf7c0ffecec2f9111ce6201 ]

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.
