[PATCH v1 1/1] fpga: m10bmc-sec: Fix possible memory leak of flash_buf

From: Russ Weight
Date: Fri Sep 16 2022 - 19:52:43 EST


There is an error check following the allocation of flash_buf that returns
without freeing flash_buf. It makes more sense to do the error check
before the allocation and the reordering eliminates the memory leak.
