[PATCH v2 4/4] staging: rtl8712: fix potential memory leak

From: Nam Cao
Date: Tue Oct 25 2022 - 05:19:42 EST


In r8712_init_drv_sw(), whenever any function call returns error, it is
returned immediately without properly cleaning up the other successfully
executed functions. This can cause memory leak.

Instead of return immediately, free all the allocated buffers first.
